As filed

Compared to last week: best test on steers 600 to 650 lbs and 700 to 750 lbs mostly steady, 751 to 899 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Best test on heifers 600 to 650 lbs mostly steady. Good demand for today's large offering of many packages and loads of mostly home raised cattle. Flesh varied, but mostly moderate to moderate plus. Quality similar to last week with many average to attractive quality steers and heifers to choose from. A moderate to active market with both buyers and some farmer feeders in the seats today. Weather has turned very cold and is forecasted to stay that way for at least the next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 12.
