Too light an offering today compared to last week to develop an accurate price trend. Moderate to good demand for a handful of loads and packages which made up today's light offering, cold temperatures and wind chills are keeping most of the cattle home today. Flesh varied, from moderate to heavy and quality mostly average to attractive. A moderate market with a more limited attendance today due mostly to the weather as well as the light numbers of cattle today. Very bitter cold and wind chills expected for the weekend, some relief in sight by the middle of next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 19.
