As filed

Compared to last week: roughly half as many feeder cattle as last week with many weight classes not well tested today for comparison. Best test on steers 600 to 650 lbs mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 lower, 601 to 700 lbs mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for today's offering featuring a handful of loads and many packages. Quality varied, from plain to attractive, overall quality less attractive than last week. Flesh similar, from light to some moderate plus. A moderate to active market for today's offering with mostly order buyers and a few farmer feeders interested in calves today. A full house of producers for the bull sale and bred sale after the feeder cattle sale. No sale next week, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, February 10.
