Today was a special Saturday feeder calf sale. Compared to Wednesday: steer calves 600 to 800 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 4.00 higher on 700 to 750 lbs. Heifer calves 600 to 750 lbs mostly steady. Other weight classes not well compared. Good to very good demand for a large offering of many packages and loads, like Wednesday, calves which fit grass type programs see excellent demand. Varied flesh today, from light to moderate plus. Quality similar to Wednesday with many attractive quality cattle to choose from. An active market with many of the normal buyers attending, as well as some farmer feeders. Cold wind chills persist today, a warm up is expected by mid week. Regular feeder cattle sale Wednesday, January 12.
