Compared to last week, steers less than 600 lbs sold 10.00 lower, over 600 lbs sold steady. Heifers less than 600 lbs sold 8.00 lower and over 600 lb sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter bull sold 6.00 higher. Bulk of the calf and feeder run comprised of packages throughout the week. Wintery weather at the auction locations saw smaller in-house crowd of buyers but the internet was active. Some light rain turning to snow across a large portion of the state at weeks close. This is very much needed moisture! Hopefully Mother Nature will continue to provide more moisture throughout the spring.
