Compared to last week: Steers from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 lower 
on limited numbers, steers from 650 lbs to 799 lbs were 4.00 to 10.00 higher 
instances of 12.00 higher,  steers from 800 lbs to 899 lbs were generally 3.00 
to 5.00 lower, Heifers from 500 lbs to 599 lbs were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, No 
other comparisons available.  Very good demand for todays large offering of 
feeder cattle that consisted of several consignment offering multiple loads in 
the same sort, plenty of part loads and packages available as well.  Most 
cattle were long time weaned, fully vaccinated and attractive for quality.  
Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus back 
grounded cattle.  Farmer feeders, order buyers and internet buyers made for an 
active market as cattle feeders try to maintain some inventory.  Semi-annual 
cattle inventory report showered a beef cow herd smaller than a year ago, with 
heifer retention showing a less than 1% increase.  No sale next week due to the 
Black Hills Stock Show.  Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, February 13, 
2026
