Compared to last week:  Too few comparable weights of feeder steers and heifers 
to make a good comparison.  A lighter offering this week as a severe winter 
storm moved across the area over the weekend making for impossible travel 
conditions throughout the day on Sunday.  A few long strings of yearling steers 
and heifers, offered in full loads and multiple load lots, along with a few 
small consignments of lighter cattle.  The market was pretty active for the 
packages of light cattle.  The market on the yearlings was moderately active, 
cattle feeders are feeling pressured from new resistance in the fat cattle 
market and need to buy cattle with lower breakeven prices.  Flesh condition of 
yearlings moderate to heavy.
