Too few cattle last week to compare to today's large offering and develop an accurate price trend. Good to very good demand for today's large offering featuring many loads and packages, many of these red hided cattle. Varied quality and flesh today, from plain to attractive and from light fleshed, hay fed calves to grain fed, never missed a day at the bunk, heavy fleshed cattle and everything in between. An active market for this offering with order buyers and farmer feeders eager to buy cattle. A wind advisory in place most of today which could complicate some truck travel. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, February 18.
