Compared to last week the market was mixed with steers 500 to 550 lbs. 4.00 higher; 550 to 650 lbs. were 6.00 to 7.00 lower; 750 to 800 lbs. were 5.00 higher nd 800 to 900 bs. were steady to 7.00 higher. Feeder heifers below 600 lbs. were steady; 600 to 650 lbs. were 7.00 lower and 650 to 700 lbs. were 5.00 lower. Very good demand for todays offering of mostly weaned and preconditioned calves with shots. Overall quality was good with many nice strings and load lots in the offering. Calves ranged from light to moderate flesh condition. Buyer demand very good. The near blizzard conditions from cold and wind caused some to not make it to town today with their calves. Expecting another large sale next week.
