As filed

A lighter offering than last week with best test on steers 500 to 550 lbs and 600 to 750 lbs mostly steady. Heifers not well compared today. Good to very good demand for this offering of many loads and several packages of attractive, clean hided and long time weaned calves. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus. An active market despite a smaller crowd of buyers attending the sale today. The bitter cold weather and windchill kept some cattle home waiting until next week when the weather looks much better. Snow and wind forecasted for tomorrow which could make travel difficult. Next feeder cattle sale is next Thursday, January 23, featuring Red Angus cattle and replacement heifers.
