Compared to last week:  steers 600 to 699 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher, 700 to 899 
lbs mostly steady.  Heifers 500 to 549 lbs and 600 to 649 lbs 10.00 to 16.00 
higher, 550 to 599 lbs not well compared, 650 to 699 lbs mostly steady, 700 to 
749 lbs 3.00 to 6.00 higher.  A large offering of loads and packages again this 
week.  Very good demand for cattle suitable for grass or backgrounding 
programs, good to very good demand for finishing type cattle depending on flesh 
condition.  Flesh condition similar to last week, from moderate to heavy, with 
some fill seen at times.  One consignment of backgrounded cattle today with the 
rest being home raised, long time weaned and vaccinated.  An active market with 
mostly order buyers and not as many farmer feeders in the seats this week.  
Temperatures have warmed up considerably and this nicer weather is expected to 
continue for the next week or more.  Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, 
February 11.
