As filed

A very light feeder cattle offering today due to cold temps and windchills, best test on heifers 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady with other weight classes not well compared. Good demand for packages and just a couple loads offered today. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive and moderate to moderate plus for flesh condition. An active market for this light offering with most of the normal crowd of buyers in the seats as well as a few farmer feeders. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 21.
