Compared to last week: Feeder steers 550-900 lbs. sold 3.00-5.00 higher, 900 lbs. and up sold steady to 3.00 lower. Heifers sold 2.00- 5.00 lower. Today was our Hereford influenced feeder sale. Quality was very good, compared to last year, feeders were clean and light fleshed. Many heifers brought top dollar going for replacement today. Demand was good. We had 11 consignors with over 150 head of cattle. Next feeder cattle auction will be Feb. 22nd, expecting 5500-6000 head of feeders , starting at 9:30 am.
