Compared to last week: Feeder steers up to 700 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 higher, steers over 700 lbs. sold steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers up to 800 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 higher, feeder heifers over 800 lbs. sold unevenly stead. Today we had one consignment of 550 head of NHTC feeder cattle bringing top dollar. Demand was good. A few load lots of heavy heifers. The next feeder cattle auction will be Jan. 30th, expecting 5000-5500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
