Compared to last week: steer calves 500 to 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 551 to 650 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 651 to 700 lbs mostly steady, 701 to 750 lbs not well compared, 751 to 800 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifer calves 500 to 600 lbs and 651 to 750 lbs mostly steady, 601 to 650 lbs and 751 to 800 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Good to very good demand for today's large offering of many packages and loads. Demand remains very strong for calves which will be suitable for summer grass as these calves get harder to find each week. Quality varied today, but mostly average to attractive, and most calves in moderate to moderate plus flesh. Only a package or two of unweaned calves, the rest of the offering was long time weaned. Some of the cattle showing a little stress as the weather last week was very cold, windy, and had several days of blizzard conditions. An active market seen for today's offering. Much warmer temps predicted for this week giving producers and livestock some relief. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, January 29.
