Compared to last Friday: Steers from 550 lbs to 699 lbs were 2.00 higher to 4.00 lower, steers from 700 lbs to 799 lbs were 10.00 to 12.00 lower; heifers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 lower, heifers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs and heifers from 700 lbs to 749 lbs were 6.00 to 10.00 higher, no other comparisons available. A fairly active market with best demand for full loads. Most of the calves were home raised, fully preconditioned, and long time weaned. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle that had been running out to moderate plus flesh cattle coming out of a grow yard. Bitter cold temperatures and wind chills in the area caused some cancellations. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, January 19, 2024
