Compared to last week: steers from 500 lbs to 800 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher; heifers from 600 lbs to 749 lbs were steady to instances of 6.00 higher. Good to very good demand for todays offering of fully preconditioned long time weaned calves. Several long stings of reputation cattle in town today offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads, up to 8 loads in the same sort, of one owner's cattle. Flesh ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus back grounded cattle coming out of grow yards. Lots of quality this week made for a very active market as buyers were eager to get cattle purchased. Mild winter weather with limited precipitation in the area has allowed cattle to gain exceptionally well and stay relatively clean. No feeder sale next week, enjoy the Black Hills Stock Show. Next feeder sale will be Friday, February 11th, two weeks from now. Eat Beef so you can stay healthy and safe.
