Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers were steady to 5.00 higher with the exception of the high 500 weights that were higher by 10.00 from the result of a truck load offered raising the average. Feeder heifers of the 500 weights were 2.00 - 4.00 higher while all other weights 4.00 - 10.00 lower. The majority of calves were weaned resulting in a healthy, moderate flesh condition. Many heifers were offered with bangs vaccination. The desire to possess offerings with the willingness to pay was good. Market activity for today's sale was moderate to active. Next feeder cattle special is Feb 12, 2021.
