Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower over 600 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Heifers under 500 lbs sold 10.00 lower, 500 to 700 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 700 lbs sold 10.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold steady. Slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls sold 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good through out the week. Some cattlemen that usually run yearlings on grass have sold this year's supply as the market is very good, and with all the snow many fences are down from drifts, and it might take all summer to fix the fence. Some snow is melting but overall, most farming is roughly a month behind as cool temperatures prevail throughout the day. A slight warm up is needed across the state to get snow melted and green grass to grow.
