No Feeder Cattle Sale last week, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers under 550 10.00 higher, 550 to 600 3.00 higher, 600 to 650 Steady to 2.00 lower, 650 to 900 2.00 to 4.00 lower, Feeder Heifers 400 to 550 2.00 to 3.00 higher, 550 to 650 Steady to 2.00 higher, 650 to 700 4.00 lower. Very Good Demand for Many Long Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market throughout the Sale. There were many instances where buyers were able to take multiple loads of the same sort of the same Seller's Cattle. Much of the Offering carried Moderate to Moderate Plus Flesh with very little Tag. No Sale Next Week due to the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo, next Feeder Cattle Sale February 11, Expecting 4,000 Head.
