Compared to last week: best test on steers 550 to 600 lbs mostly steady, 601 to 650 lbs not well compared, 651 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 701 to 900 lbs mostly steady with instances 2.00 lower on 700 to 800 lbs. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, 651 to 750 lbs mostly steady with instances up to 3.00 lower on 700 to 750 lbs. Good to very good demand for today's very large offering of many packages and loads. The majority of these cattle were home raised and quality was attractive throughout the day. Flesh varied, from moderate to heavy, and demand was based mostly on flesh condition. More flesh overall today than seen last week. Some cattle carrying tag today as the temps have gotten warm enough to thaw this past week. An active market seen for this offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, March 3.
