Pierre, Herreid, Hub City, Mitchell, Mobridge, Philip, and Sioux Falls Regional Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Demand moderate through most of the week, turning good by late week. CME Feeder Cattle futures posted gains of 2.00 on Wednesday which helped to support the market at the auction. Cattle feeders held out and resisted lower cash fed cattle bids all week until Friday when packers came out with a steady dressed bid, 197.00, which got cattle bought. Blowing snow created blizzard conditions at midweek which caused some cancellations. Arctic like weather next week with forecast daytime highs below zero and overnight temps of -30 has already caused some auction markets to reschedule their auctions. These weather issues have caused many cattle feeders to have less interest in buying cattle until the weather moderates. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls steady.
