A much smaller offering than last week with many weight classes not well compared. Best test on steers 550 to 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, 601 to 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Best test on heifers 550 to 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Good demand for this lighter offering featuring packages and a handful of loads. Quality varied, especially in packages, from plain to attractive. Slightly more flesh than last week with most of the cattle in moderate to moderate plus. A moderate to active market with less buyers attending the sale today. Roughly 1500 of today's receipts were feeder cattle with the balance in weigh ups and two bull sales. Next feeder cattle sale is in two weeks, Thursday, February 6.
