As filed

Compared to last week: steers 550 to 850 lbs mostly steady. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages and loads. A few loads of backgrounded cattle, but mostly home raised cattle this week. More big, backgrounding type cattle than last week and less grass types, overall more flesh on the cattle this week. Lots of attractive quality cattle to choose from. An active market seen for the offering. Cold weather at the beginning of the week with a warm up expected for the end of the week and weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, February 8.
