Compared to last week: steers 500 to 650 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher, 651 to 800 lbs mostly steady. Heifers 500 to 550 lbs and 601 to 650 lbs mostly steady, 551 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's large offering featuring many packages and loads. Grass type cattle and replacement quality heifers from reputation ranches saw the best demand. Many attractive quality cattle to choose from in various flesh condition, from light to moderate plus. An active market with a wider variety of bidders today including order buyers, farmer feeders and producers looking for replacements. Cold temps again today with a warm up expected for the next few days. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, January 27.
