Compared to last week: best test on steers 600 to 649 lbs and 700 to 749 lbs 9.00 to 10.00 higher with instances 15.00 higher. Best test on heifers 450 to 499 lbs, 600 to 649 lbs, and 700 to 749 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many loads and packages of both backgrounded and home raised cattle. All classes to choose from, both grass and finishing types and quite a few colored cattle in varied flesh, but more flesh overall than last week. Some tag on the cattle but really not as bad as expected with the way yards have gotten in the nice weather. An active market with both buyers and farmer feeders in the seats. Nice weather to continue into next week and keep temperatures above normal for this time of year. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 9.
