Compared to last week: steers 600 to 699 lbs mostly steady, 700 to 799 lbs and 850 to 899 lbs 4.00 to 5.00 lower with instances up to 10.00 lower on 700 to 799 lbs, 800 to 849 lbs not well compared. Heifers 600 to 699 lbs mostly steady, 700 to 799 lbs 6.00 to 8.00 lower. Another large offering this week with plenty of loads, multiple loads, and packages of both home raised and backgrounded cattle to choose from. Very good demand for lighter cattle to go to grass or background, good demand for finishing type cattle depending on flesh condition. Some tag again this week as lot conditions are not drying very much this time of year, yet it is too warm for them to remain frozen. Quality similar to the last few weeks with many attractive cattle on offer, a few more colored cattle this week. An active market with buyers, farmer feeders and replacement heifer buyers in the seats, activity only slightly dampened by a down feeder board again today. Some snow in the area and south today creating some travel issues. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, February 21.
