Too few cattle today compared to last week to develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on heifers 600 to 700 lbs. Good to very good demand for this light offering featuring a handful of loads and packages, most of the cattle were home raised. A variety of quality for such a small sale, from plain to attractive. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus, some heavy flesh at times. An active market with quite a few buyers attending despite the light number of cattle today. Warmer weather expected for the weekend into next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 10.
