No Feeder Cattle Sale last week, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers under 600 Steady, 600 to 750 Steady to 2.00 higher, other classes of Feeder Steers not well compared, Feeder Heifers 450 to 600 2.00 to 3.00 lower, 600 to 700 Steady to 2.00 lower. Good Demand for Many Long, Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. The unseasonably warm weather the last couple weeks has created some muddy conditions in the pens and that showed up in some extra tagg on cattle today, otherwise the weigh up overall was good. Many areas across the Dakotas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana have received moisture throughout the winter and optimism on grass type cattle is high. No Sale Next Week, Enjoy the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo! The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is February 7, expecting 2000 Head.
