Last feeder cattle sale several weeks ago so an accurate trend can not be established, higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Good to very good demand for today's offering of many packages and a handful of loads with calves suitable for grass programs seeing excellent demand. Still quite a few packages coming off the cow, these calves in mostly light to moderate flesh. Weaned calves in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Quality average to attractive on this offering. An active market seen for this first feeder cattle offering of 2020. Next feeder cattle sale is next Thursday, January 16.
