Compared to last week: the feeder Steers under 650lbs are steady to 5.00 lower and and over 500lbs are 5.00 to 10.00 higher

The heifers were unevenly steady across the board. The demand was good. The rise in fat cattle market is helping add support to the feeder cattle demand. Next sale is February 16th
