Compared to last week feeder steers were mostly steady to 2.00 lower; feeder heifers were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. The supply of cattle for today's sale was shortened up with a winter storm moving through the area. The cattle that made it to town were fully preconditioned, home-raised and most in the light to moderate flesh conditions. Very active market with most of the usual order buyers present looking to buy cattle. Next feeder sale will be next Friday, January 24th expecting a large run of high quality feeder cattle, including 2,000 head of old crop yearling cattle with 1,800 head in one consignment.
