Compared to last week: steers from 500 lbs to 549 lbs and 650 lbs to 699 lbs 
were mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher, steers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs and steers 
from 600 lbs to 649 lbs were steady to instances of 10.00 lower, steers from 
700 lbs to 799 lbs were generally 3.00 to 5.00 higher.  Heifers from 500 lbs to 
599 lbs were steady to 15.00 higher, heifers from 600 lbs to 699 lbs were 
steady to 5.00 lower.  Other weight classes to lightly tested to make 
comparisons.  An active to very active market for todays offering of old crop 
yearlings and spring born calves.  Yearlings were mostly packages and part 
loads ranging from light to moderate fleshed condition.   Good to very good 
demand for todays calf offering with most being long time weaned, fully 
vaccinated and attractive for quality.  Several consignments offered buyers 
multiple loads in the same sort, plenty of part loads and packages to make 
loads.  Most cattle have been running out in enough space to stay clean.  A 
lower futures market seemed to have little effect on todays offering.  Weather 
in the area has turned from mild to more winter like conditions, with high wind 
warnings in the next several days hampering movement of cattle.  Next feeder 
sale is Friday, January 23, 2026.
