As filed

Compared to Saturday: steers 600 to 650 lbs and 751 to 800 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 651 to 750 and 801 to 900 lbs all mostly steady, lower undertones noted on steers under 600 lbs. Heifers 550 to 700 lbs mostly steady, 701 to 750 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower. A large offering of feeder cattle today featuring many packages and loads, most of these home raised. Grass type calves saw very good demand again this week, especially the black hided ones. Good demand for feeding type cattle. A few consignments of calves off the cow, these saw moderate demand. Flesh varied, from light to some heavy flesh at times. More tag on the calves this week as the warmer temps the last few days have pens thawing out. An active market with a full house of buyers and consignors today. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, January 19.
