As filed

Compared to last week: steers 500 to 550 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 551 to 650 lbs 5.00 to 8.00 higher with instances up to 10.00 higher. 651 to 800 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher except 600 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's large offering of packages and loads with best demand seen for light fleshed, light weight cattle which may fit grass programs, especially those sold in load lots. Quality similar to last week with many attractive cattle to choose from, several outfits selling multiple loads of same weight, home raised cattle. Flesh varied today, from light to moderate plus. An active market with many buyers and a few farmer feeders attending the auction today. No sale next week due to the Black Hills Stock Show, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, February 11.
