Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher except 750-800 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 550 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Very good demand for this extremely large offering of long time weaned and fully preconditioned steers and heifers. Overall quality was very attractive, many long strings offered including full loads and multiple load lots. The market was very active, especially on light fleshed cattle to make yearlings of. There is snow on the ground finally, with more in the forecast, helping to brighten the prospects of a better grazing year. Yearling operators were wiling to chase the market higher as the supply of light cattle is diminishing. Flesh conditions ranged from moderate to moderate plus. The changing weather caused a little heavier fill on the warmed up cattle but buyers were not deterred as otherwise the cattle were very eye appealing. The temperatures were 50 to60 degrees warmer than last week and cattle producers were ready to get their cattle hauled to town and sold, which resulted in such a large sale this week.
