Compared to last week: steers 500 to 850 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 2.00 higher on 800 to 850 lbs and instances up to 6.00 lower on 550 to 600 lbs. Heifers 450 to 700 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 4.00 higher on 500 to 550 lbs and 650 to 700 lbs. Good to very good demand for today's large calf offering featuring many, many packages and quite a few loads. Similar to last week, flesh varied, from light to heavy. Quality also similar to last week, mostly average to attractive today. An active market with many buyers and some farmer feeders attending the sale today. Some cooler, and more seasonally normal, temps are expected for the weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, January 27.
