As filed

Too few feeder cattle last week to compare with today's larger offering and establish an accurate trend, higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Very good demand for grass type cattle again this week, especially for load lots. Moderate to good demand for packages and loads of feeding type cattle. Quite a difference in quality today compared to last week, with many attractive quality calves to choose from today. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus. A moderate to active market, activity grew weaker as the sale progressed. Much of the state is under a winter weather advisory for tonight into tomorrow. Snow and strong winds expected which will impact travel. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, January 20, featuring many strings of Red Angus cattle.
