Compared to last week feeder steers weighing from 550 lbs to 599 lbs were steady to 5.00 lower; 600 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher; 650 lbs to 749 lbs steers were steady. Feeder heifers weighing 550 lbs to 699 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher, no other comparisons made. Good to very good demand for today's offering of fully preconditioned long time weaned calves. Best demand for the lighter fleshed hay fed calves suitable for yearlings. A large crowd of buyers on hand wanting to buy cattle made for a fairly active market today. Several long strings of reputation cattle loaded with genetics in today's offering. Cattle futures had a tough week; with cash fat cattle lower too. Market skepticism with the Corona virus going on around the world created some caution today. Weather continues to cause problems for producers trying to get cattle to market as there were several cancellations caused by icy or muddy roads in the region. No sale next week so everyone can attend the Black Hill Stock Show. Next feeder sale will be Friday, February 14th expecting a large run of high quality feeder cattle.
