Compared to the last sale, steers under 550 lbs sold 8.00 higher on thin test. Steers 550 to 800 lbs sold mostly steady with steers over 800 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for the first feeder sale of the New Year with several order and farmer feeder buyers in the house. Some offerings displayed some tag from the resent snow melt. Bulk of the run was in medium to medium plus flesh with some fleshy cattle in the run. Next Wednesday will be a special calf and feeder auction with 4000-4500 head.
