Too light an offering last week to compare to today's large offering and develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Good to very good demand for all classes of cattle today. Many loads and packages of attractive quality cattle to choose from, most of these in moderate to moderate plus flesh. Several loads of replacement quality heifers from reputation outfits, these were met with excellent demand. An active market with many buyers and some farmer feeders and producers in the seats to buy cattle today. Warmer weather has arrived and is expected to continue throughout the next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 26.
