Compared to two week: Steers from 600 lbs to 749 lbs were mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher, instances 20.00 higher, steers from 750 lbs to 799 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower, steers from 800 lbs to 899 lbs were 8.00 to 12.00 higher; Heifers not well tested but higher undertones would bae noted. Very good demand for all classes of cattle today. A large run of cattle with a house full of producers and buyer competing with internet buyers. Several consignments offered multiple loads of cattle in the same sort. Plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads. Cattle were home raised, fully vaccinated, long time weaned and attractive for quality. Flesh conditions ranged from light flesh hay feed cattle to moderate flesh cattle coming out of a grow yard. Load after load of fancy replacement quality heifers were met with very good demand. A very active market for all classes of cattle as cattle feeders try to fill pen space and maintain some inventory. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, February 20, 2026
