Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 1.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Many market comments this week referred to the quality of the runs being above average to outstanding as bidders and buyers bellied up to the ring and were active participants. Even though horrible weather conditions were realized in many places this week, the demand for quality stock was not diminished one iota. On Wednesday at Hub City Livestock Auction in Aberdeen, SD, a load of 766 lb red hided heifers sold for $1390 per head or near 181.50/cwt. Also on Wednesday at Bassett Livestock in Nebraska a half load of 771 lb heifers sold at 170.00 and at Huss Platte Valley Auction in Kearney, NE, a short load of 747 lb heifers sold at 168.00. In the hills of north central MO at Green City Livestock Auction, a large package of 719 lb heifers sold at 164.00. These consignments are from reputation ranches and were sold mostly to repeat customers who come back year after year to buy the same genetics. Even though replacement heifers have been the talk in this column the last couple weeks, the mature cattle slaughter has increased an average of almost 7700 head per week for the first four harvest weeks of the new year...
