There was not a sale last week due to the Black Hills Stock Show. Compared to two weeks ago: There were few offerings two weeks ago, but prices held steady. Today's offerings held an attractive condition overall, especially the F-1 heifers. There was an active demand with active market activity. Next feeder cattle sale is Feb. 28, 2020.
