As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Steers 550-600lbs, sharply higher; 600-650lbs, 5.00 lower; 650-700lbs, 7.00 higher. Heifers 500-550lbs, 3.00 higher; 550-600lbs, 8.00 higher; 600-700lbs, 5.00 lower. Calves sold on very good demand today, with order buyers and producers filling the seats. A few packages of F-1 heifers took top dollar, headed back to breeding program. Flesh was mostly moderate on todays attractive offering of mostly weaned and vaccinated calves. Slightly warmer temps in the area for today's sale, but a cold front is in forecast for the area, bringing temperatures well below zero again. Next Feeder Calf Sale and Replacement Heifer Special is February 28.
