Quality similar to last week with many attractive cattle to choose from, several outfits selling multiple loads of same weight, home raised cattle. Flesh varied today, from light to moderate plus. An active market with many buyers and a few farmer feeders attending the auction today. No sale next week due to the Black Hills Stock Show, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, February 11.
