As filed

Compared to last week flat 500 and 700 lbs steers sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher with all other weights under 750 steady on the day. Steers over 750 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Heifers under 650 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher with heifers over 650 lbs unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good with a large crowd of mostly order buyers procuring cattle. Some buying took place on the internet. With the warmer weather most lots of weaned cattle displayed a little extra flesh than previous weeks. This extra flesh and lower CME cattle boards took some money off the heavier steer lots. Yearling buyers continue to seek out cattle that will grow on summer grass. Next week Jan 19, Special calf and feeder auction expecting 4500 to 5000 head.
