Compared to the last Friday sale (1-13-23): Feeder steers under 700 lbs sold mostly 10.00-15.00 higher, steers over 700 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves all sold 15.00-20.00 higher, with instances of 25.00 higher seen at times. Quality this week was mostly average to very attractive. Several sets of home-raised, rancher weaned calves were seen this sale. Many sets of heifers were very attractive and several ranchers were on hand bidding on heifers to develop into replacements. Ranchers and grass cattle buyers competed over heifer offerings which helped push heifer prices sharply higher. Most sets of calves were weaned 60-100 days or more. Cattle were mostly open haired and very clean. Most cattle were in light flesh as cold winter conditions have helped keep cattle very green. A very large pool of order buyers was on hand for todays sale. Market activity was mostly very active as a result. Weigh up cows and bulls sold on very good demand for very light offerings. Not enough cows or bulls sold to develop any accurate market trend.
