Compared to last week: steers 500 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 651 to 700 lbs mostly steady, 701 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower except 801 to 850 lbs not well compared, instances up to 8.00 lower on 750 to 800 lbs. Heifers 500 to 650 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 higher, 651 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for today's large offering of many packages and loads with cattle suitable for summer grass seeing the best demand again this week. Flesh varied with grass cattle in mostly light to moderate and finishing types in moderate to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Quality mostly average to attractive today. Some tag seen on some cattle as this week's temps have been right at or above freezing. An active market seen for today's offering. The mild temps are expected to continue through the week and into next. Both livestock and their caretakers are enjoying this weather. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, February 5.
