Compared to last week: steer calves 500 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 8.00 higher, 601 to 700 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 701 to 750 lbs not well tested today, 751 to 800 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 500 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's offering. Many packages and several loads of calves offered as well as a few packages of tested open yearling heifers. Similar flesh condition to the last few weeks with calves in varied flesh, from light to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. A few packages off the cow, these calves are usually very green as they must compete with their mothers for feed. Quality mostly attractive today. An active market with much interest in getting cattle bought, especially the lighter cattle. Some cancellations due to the very cold weather and wind chills today, next week's weather is looking much better. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, January 22.
