Compared to last week:  steers 500 to 549 and 600 to 699 lbs lbs 10.00 to 12.00 
lower with instances up to 20.00 lower on 500 to 549 lbs, 550 to 599 lbs not 
well compared, 700 to 899 lbs 2.00 to 9.00 higher with instances up to 15.00 
higher on 750 to 799 lbs.  Best test on heifers 500 to 549 lbs, 600 to 649 lbs 
and 700 to 749 lbs mostly steady with instances 20.00 lower on 500 to 549 lbs, 
550 to 599 lbs not well compared, 650 to 699 lbs 6.00 to 12.00 higher.  Another 
large offering of home raised cattle this week which was met with good to very 
good demand.  Many loads and packages to choose from, all long time weaned and 
vaccinated.  Flesh ranged from moderate to heavy again this week, slightly more 
flesh overall than last week.  Despite the artic weather last week, cattle 
still looked eye appealing and stress free.  An active market with plenty of 
interest from both buyers and farmer feeders.  Next feeder cattle sale is 
Wednesday, February 4.
