Compared to last week: best test on steers 550 to 600 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, 700 to 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Best test on heifers 500 to 550 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower, 551 to 600 lbs mostly steady, 650 to 600 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Good demand for today's large offering of many packages and loads of mostly average to attractive quality cattle. Less grass type cattle than last week and slightly more flesh on the today's offering overall, mostly moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Moderate to active market activity today. The weather has been very foggy this week but temps have been quite mild for this time of year and are expected to continue into the next week. Next feeder cattle sale is next Friday, February 7.
