As filed

Compared to last week thin test of the market grass type steers sold sharply higher on the day with feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Most weights of heifers sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher; 700 to 850 lbs heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate at the beginning of the sale with good demand noted about halfway through till the end. Most lots of cattle displayed some tag (mud) throughout the day due to melting snow in the trade area. Special Calf and Feeder expecting 5000-5500 head on Jan 18th.
