Compared to the most recent feeder sale last friday which was a value added yearling special, steers of similar quality over 450lbs sold with a mostly steady undertone, except 550lb to 650lb steers which sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 10.00 lower. Even with Friday's yearling special, many high quality weaned calves and yearlings were in town, as well as many high quality unweaned calves. Demand was very good on another heavier than expected run for the first few sales of the new year.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.40, low $370.33, median $436.30 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
