Compared to last week: Steers from 550 lbs to 749 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher, best test on heifers 500 lbs to 549 lbs and 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher on limited numbers, other weight classes not well compared. Very good demand for todays offering. Calves were long time weaned, home raised, fully vaccinated and clean haired. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus cattle coming out of a grow yard. Several consignments from reputation ranchers offered buyers multiple loads of one owner cattle. Best demand for the light fleshed black hided cattle suitable for summer grazing programs. Most of the usual crowd of order buyers, a few farmer feeders and internet buyers made for an active market. A few consignments of old crop yearlings with most being offered as packages. Milder weather the past couple days and into next week make for good cattle feeding conditions. Next feeder sale will be Friday, January 31, 2025.
