As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher, 700-850 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, over 850 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers from 600 to 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher with flat 8 weights 7.00 higher. Demand was good from start to finish with some of the highest prices paid toward the end of the sale. Higher CME live and feeder cattle boards along with lower corn futures helped the feeder cattle sale on Wednesday. Also, Nebraska feedlots sold some of their show-list 4.00 higher than last week on dressed basis at 222.00. Next Wednesday Feb 9th will be a Special Calf and Feeder sale.
