Compared to last week: best test on steers 550 to 599 lbs and 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady. Best test on heifers 500 to 599 lbs mostly steady, 600 to 649 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for today's calf offering selling almost entirely in packages. Flesh similar to last week, from moderate to some heavy. Most of the calves today were home raised and all were weaned. Hides were clean and open haired as few days have been extremely cold and lots are frozen hard. An active market seen for this offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, January 24.
