Compared with two weeks ago, steer offerings, 500 to 650 lbs traded 16.00 to as much as 30.00 higher. No comparable offerings for heifers a trend will not be given. Demand was very good today with several buyers at the barn and active internet bidding. Warmer weather in the area after several days of snow and wind. Next Auction Dates for Feb 2nd and 9th
