Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher, 600 to 800 lbs sold 12.00 to 15.00 higher and over 800 lbs sold 4.00 higher. Heifers sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was good throughout the day. Moderate size crowd of buyers on the seats with active bidding on the internet. Some of the top prices on the day came towards the end of the sale. Overall, cattle quality was very attractive from start to finish. All were longtime weaned with all vaccinations and most were poured. Very limited amount of calves had been implanted. Next week will be a special bred heifer and cow auction. Next calf and feeder sale will be in two weeks on February 6th.
