Compared to last week: best test on steers 500 to 750 2.00 to 3.00 higher except 600 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages and loads with best demand seen for light fleshed cattle which have more options, including grass. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus, with less flesh overall than last week. Last week featured many finishing type cattle and less of these were offered this week. Quality similar to last week, from average to attractive. An active market with the normal crowd of buyers a few farmer feeders attending the auction today. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 5.
