Compared to Saturday: steer calves 550 to 600 and 651 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 601 to 650 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 higher, 701 to 850 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves 500 to 650 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering with calves under 650 lbs seeing excellent demand, especially steers. Many loads and packages available, in varied flesh but mostly moderate to moderate plus. A few packages still coming off the cow, flesh on these more light to moderate. Quality very similar to Saturday with many attractive calves to choose from. Slightly less tag on the calves than Saturday, with most calves clean hided and open haired. An active market for the offering. Cold weather in the forecast for the remainder of the week. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, January 15.
