As filed

Compared to last week: steers 550 to 750 lbs mostly steady. Heifers 500 to 550 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 551 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for today's calf offering featuring many packages and loads. Many colored cattle seen again this week, most of the offering was home raised. Flesh varied, but most of the calves in light to moderate plus flesh. Quality similar to last week. An active market with both buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats. Cold weather to return next week with more snow possible in some areas. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 3.
