Reporter comment USDA

As filed

The last reported sale was January 23, so a market comparison can not be made. Very good demand for loads and large packages of feeder steers, feeder heifers and replacement heifers, that were all home raised, and most fully weaned. The market was very strong, with lots of order buyers and producers in the stands. Several packages of fancy, bangs-vaccinated heifers were headed back to a breeding program. Mild weather in the area, with little to no moisture, has helped with conditioning, with little to no tagg, and most calves carrying mostly medium flesh. The next Feeder Calf and Replacement Heifer sale will be February 27.
