Compared to last week: steers 600 to 699 lbs and 750 to 849 lbs unevenly steady, 700 to 749 lbs and 850 to 899 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers 600 to 749 lbs unevenly steady. A nice offering of loads and packages of both home raised and backgrounded cattle today. Good to very good demand depending on flesh condition which ranged from moderate to heavy. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive. Warm temperatures the last week have made yards soft and some cattle carried a little mud today. A moderate to active market with less drive to own cattle than seen last week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 20.
