Compared to last week steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Steers over 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs sold 1.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold sharply higher on the week. Some feeder cattle and slaughter cow receipts shorter than expected at area livestock auctions due to wintery weather. Some areas of the state had a foot of fluffy snow closing highways across a large portion of the state. Many livestock owners continue to look for hay to get them through the winter.
