Compared to last week steers and heifers sold unevenly steady on a thin test of the market. Demand was moderate to good. Offering comprised of longtime weaned steers and heifers with full vaccination protocol. Some cattle didn't make it to the sale due to the artic temperatures in the area. Next Monday, February 2 will be a special calf and feeder auction.
