The feeder cattle prices continued to creep higher after dropping lower with higher feed costs, but the devastating Artic cold front and snowstorms caused more price variation with lower cattle numbers at auctions along with some limited demand from feedlots. That massive couple weeks of storms caused more problems in some areas which will probably continue to impact prices for a short while. In fact, the Southern Plains had tremendous problems because of very big power outages especially in Texas.
