As filed

Compared to last week: different weight classes and fewer cattle today than last week, best test on steers 650 to 700 lbs mostly steady, 850 to 900 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Quite a few cancellations today due to very high winds yesterday and today, it is dangerous to put trucks on the road. Moderate to good demand for today's offering of loads and packages with best demand seen for lighter weight, green cattle which may be suitable for summer grass, heavier, fleshier cattle see fewer outlets. Flesh varied today, from light to moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. Quality mostly attractive overall. A moderate market for today's offering. The weather is hindering travel again today with snow in the east and high winds across the region. Several fires have broken out in the west. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 22.
