Compared to last week: best test on steers 550 to 600 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 601 to 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 lbs and 650 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for today's offering of packages and loads of plain to attractive quality cattle. Flesh varied quite a bit today, from light to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Some tag on some of the cattle today but most were clean hided. An active market seen for today's offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 21.
