As filed

Compared to last week: In a narrow comparison, feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady this week. The majority of offerings were of attractive, light flesh condition creating a good demand. Available offerings cleared the market at a reasonable rate. Next sale is a feeder cattle special on Feb 14, 2020.
