Compared to last week Feeder Steers under 650 3.00 to 5.00 lower, 650 to 750 Steady, 750 to 800 3.00 lower, 850 to 900 3.00 lower, Feeder Heifers under 500 5.00 to 6.00 higher, 500 to 650 Steady to 2.00 lower, 650 to 750 Steady. Good Demand for several Long Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active Market. Much of the Offering had been weaned a long time, had multiple rounds of vaccinations, and carried Moderate to Moderate Plus Flesh. Buyers had several opportunities to purchase multiple loads of the same sort, in nearly every instance the buyer exercised his option to take all the available loads. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is February 8, expecting 2,500 Head.
