Compared to last week: best test on steers 550 to 599 lbs, and 650 to 749 lbs 6.00 to 10.00 higher with instances up to 15.00 higher. Best test on heifers 550 to 649 lbs 10.00 to 13.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's large offering featuring many packages and loads with best demand seen for cattle suitable for summer grass, especially those selling in loads. Flesh varied, from light to some heavy flesh at times, but there were some very green cattle today as they have just come through the last week of very cold temperatures on lower quality feedstuffs. Lots of attractive quality cattle today, the majority of them were home raised and long time weaned. An active market with buyers and farmer feeders competing to get cattle bought. The weather has improved greatly from last weeks' sub zero temps and windchills. This week has much milder temps in the 30's with the promise of 40 degrees and warmer for the ten day outlook. This is a much needed break for livestock and their caretakers. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, January 31.
