No sale last week, comparison made to two weeks ago: feeder steers weighing 551 lbs to 600 lbs were 5.00 to 8.00 higher; 601 lbs to 650 lbs were steady to 4.00 lower; 651 lbs to 750 lbs were steady to 2.00 higher - feeder heifers from 551 lbs to 600 lbs were steady; 601 lbs to 650 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 higher; 651 lbs to 700 lbs were steady. Very good demand with lots of buyers in the seats made for a very active market today. Flesh conditions ranged form light fleshed hay fed calves to moderate plus back grounded calves. Best demand seen for the light fleshed calves suitable to go to grass this summer. Several long strings of calves enrolled in the NHTC program are marked value added. Bitter cold temps and strong winds this past week still caused some issues for transportation of livestock in the area. Several strings of fancy replacement heifers were in today's auction. The next feeder sale will be Friday, February 21st expecting a large run of high quality feeder cattle.
