20 Feb '25
Compared to last week: Extreme low temperatures throughout the week kept many cattle from coming town, but still had a decent turnout otherwise. There were a few loads of good quality feeders and cattle off wheat to keep the numbers up. Prices stepped back a bit on steer calves coming in at 4.00-10.00 lower while some feeder steers gained upward of 8.00. There were few comparable sales on heifers but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cattle yielded similar results with a limited number of high yielding cattle, but pricing and interest noted a higher demand. Trading activity was mixed.
