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.
