Compared to last week: Feeder steers 450 lbs - 600 lbs, 700 lbs - 800 lbs steady to 4.00 higher with instances of 17.00, 600 lbs - 700 lbs, 800 lbs - 900 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers 350 lbs - 450 lbs, 500 lbs- 600 lbs, 750 lbs - 800 lbs steady to 5.00 lower with instances of 10.00, 450 lbs - 500 lbs, 600 lbs - 750 lbs, 800 lbs - 850 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand for this large offering of eye appealing feeder cattle was good to very good. Flesh conditions were grass fed to heavily backgrounded. Several offerings of lot loads, along with part loads and small packages for buyers to fill orders. Green and Gold tag cattle along with cattle that had two plus rounds of shots and several weeks weaned really caught the eyes of the buyers in the seats as well as a few internet buyers. The severe temperatures and snow has made it hard for producers to keep cattle in good conditions like they like. Cancellations from last week brought in an abundance of attractive cattle this week. Next week looks to be a nice sized sale as well. Slaughter cows Breaker and Boner 2.00 to 4.00 higher, Lean to few to make a meaningful comparison. Bulls sold with steady to higher undertones.
