Compared to last week: Best comparisons on steers from 550 lbs to 799 lbs were generally from 2.00 to 10.00 higher: heifers from 500 lbs to 599 lbs were 4.00 to 10.00 higher, no other comparison available. Several strings in todays offering giving buyers the opportunity to buy full loads or multiple loads. There were plenty of part loads and packages available to make loads out of. Most of the calves were home raised, fully preconditioned and long time weaned, one or two consignments were right off the cow. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate flesh condition coming out of a grow yard. A good crowd of buyers competing with internet buyers make for a fairly active market. Bitter cold temperatures and wind chills in the area caused some cancellations and has been tough on livestock and livestock producers. Larger receipts expected for the next feeder sale scheduled for Friday, January 26, 2024.
