Compared to last week: steers 600 to 749 lbs 8.00 to 14.00 lower with instances up to 20.00 lower on 650 to 699 lbs, 750 to 799 lbs mostly steady. Heifers not well tested last week for comparison. Good to very good demand for this offering featuring loads and packages of home raised calves and a couple loads of backgrounded calves. More finishing type cattle this week with flesh condition ranging from moderate to heavy. Quality varied with a few more plain to average cattle this week but still many attractive cattle to choose from also. An active market with buyers remaining optimistic despite some volatility in the futures complex the last few days. Warm temperatures expected for the next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 13.
