No sale last week, compared to two weeks ago: most weight classes not well compared, best test on steers 650 to 700 lbs and heifers 550 to 600 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Good to very good demand for all weight classes in today's very large offering. Many load lots offered today, with quite a few opportunities to buy multiple loads of same weight cattle from the same outfit, plus lots of part loads and packages to fill trucks. Flesh varied today, from light to some heavy flesh at times. Much of the offering today was heavier feeding type cattle. Quality was mostly attractive throughout the day. An active market with a good crowd of order buyers and farmer feeders in the seats today. Weather has been much warmer than normal for February the last week and some lots are thawing out and getting sloppy. Mostly bred cattle expected for next week's sale, next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, February 24.
