Compared to last week's sale: Feeder steers under 650 lbs sold with higher undertones, over 650 lbs 4.00 to 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for this week's sale, this was a special sale date and a few less regular buyers in attendance, along with the terrible tough weather conditions that dropped 1-2.5 foot of snow resulted in a market that was not as active. Cattle feeders are facing much more work and expense, as well as poorer feeding conditions that results in decreased feeding efficiency. Cattle feeders are very hesitant to buy cattle carrying extra flesh condition. Many long strings and full loads on offer, flesh condition varied greatly. Next sale will be Thurs. Jan 12, 2023 expecting 8,000 feeders starting at 8:30 am.
