Compared to last week, steers were 2.00 - 12.00 higher, except 550 - 650 lbs was 2.00 - 9.00 lower and over 800 lbs was 2.00 - 5.00 lower. Heifers were 3.00 - 8.00 higher instances 20.00 higher on replacement heifers and flyweights. Demand was good on a nice selection. Several buyers in the seats and on the internet. Sale comprised of longtime weaned steers and heifers with flesh and weigh-up in the buyers favor. Next Thursday, Jan 30 will be the third week of the stock show special sale series.
