Compared to last Friday: Steer calves from 500 lbs to 749 lbs were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 lower with instances of 8.00 to 10.00 lower depending on the kind. Heifers from 500 lbs to 699 lbs were mostly 10.00 to 12.00 lower. Good demand for today's offering of fully preconditioned long time weaned cattle. Moderate to active market with mostly order buyers in the seats, more buyer interest on the internet today compared to past sales. A high wind warning in the area the past couple of days made getting cattle to market difficult, resulting in several cancellations. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate fleshed cattle coming out of back grounding yards. Many full loads and multiple load lots of one owner cattle in today's sale. The next feeder sale will be Friday, January 22, 2021. Stay safe.
