Compared to last week: best test on steers 600 to 650 lbs and 701 to 750 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, 651 to 700 and 751 to 800 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher, 801 to 900 lbs not well compared, 901 to 950 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 and 650 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher, 601 to 650 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for today's very large offering of mostly home raised cattle sold in many packages and loads. The majority of the cattle today were of the finishing variety and in moderate to heavy flesh. Cattle that fit grass programs were met with good demand. Quality today was mostly attractive. A moderate to active market with many buyers attending the sale. The weather this week much better for travel than last week, very cold temps and wind chills predicted for tonight with warmer weather to follow the rest of the week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, February 26.
