As filed

Compared to last week: best test on steers 600 to 700 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Best test on heifers 500 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for today's calf offering, just a couple loads of yearlings again this week. Many packages of calves and quite a few loads to choose from, mostly home raised cattle but a couple loads of backgrounded calves available as well. Flesh similar to last week, from light to some heavy, less fill on the cattle today. Varied quality, from plain to attractive, quite a few colored cattle again this week. A couple loads of replacement type heifers were met with very good demand. A moderate to active market seen for this offering. Fog and some icy road conditions in places today. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 27.
