Compared to last week: steers 550 to 600 lbs mostly steady, 601 to 650 lbs not well compared, 651 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instances up to 7.00 higher on 750 to 800 lbs. Best test on heifers 550 to 650 lbs mostly steady, 651 to 700 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Good to very good demand for many packages and loads of mostly home raised cattle which made up today's offering. Many attractive quality cattle to choose from in flesh ranging from moderate to heavy. There was much interest in bigger, finishing type cattle this week. An active market seen for this offering with many buyers and some farmer feeders attending the sale. Temperatures have finally warmed up above zero today and are predicted to be much warmer by this weekend, in the upper 30's and 40's, a welcome relief for producers and livestock. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, February 24.
