Compared to last week steers less than 600 lbs sold 10.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold steady to 6.00 higher. Heifers sold less than 700 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher and over 700 lbs sold sharply higher on the week. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 5.00 higher. Age bred cows sold sharply higher. Demand was good to very good for all offerings. Some of the 7 weight, front end kind of heifers could be heading to breeding pastures. However, with short feeder cattle supplies those weights have been very desirable to feedlots too. Snow across many areas of the state will soak in and help bring on cool season grass this spring.
