Data released by USDA on February 14th for the week ending February 12th.
Compared to previous week, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand continues to be good to very good nationwide this week as there weren’t any winter storms to disrupt the marketing flow of cattle. The best demand was for the mid to lighter weight cattle that would be suitable for grazing once grass arrives; the calendar has now moved to the middle of February and turn out time will be here before ranchers realize.
