Another large offering of home raised cattle this week with many loads, some 
multiple loads, and many packages.  Very good demand for light cattle suitable 
for grass programs, especially those selling in loads, good to very good demand 
for feeding type cattle.  Flesh varied quite a bit, from light to some heavy 
flesh at times.  Quality similar to last week with many attractive cattle to 
choose from.  An active market with both buyers and farmer feeders competing 
for cattle.  Very cold temps and windchills for the next few days with an 
extreme cold watch starting tomorrow evening.  Next feeder cattle sale is 
Wednesday, January 28.
