Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers up to 600 lbs. had an unevenly steady undertone. Feeder steers 600-800 lbs. sold 5.00-7.00 higher, steers 800 lbs. and up sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good with many load lots in the offering. Large strings of N H T C steers and heifers brought top dollar. Had some very nice heifer replacements today. The next feeder cattle auction will be Feb. 4th, expecting 5000 head of feeders. Starting at 9:00 am.
