Today's large offering consisted of many packages, loads, and strings of mostly homeraised, preconditioned cattle in varied flesh. Good to very good demand seen for calves suited for summer grass programs. Moderate to good demand for calves suited for finishing programs. A moderate to active market for today's offering. High winds today created blizzard like conditions and made travel difficult. A few cancellations today but most of the cattle came in yesterday when travel conditions were better. Very cold temperatures continue to plague the area and, along with regular snow and wind, are making life very difficult for both livestock and their caretakers. Below normal temperatures are forcasted thru the end of the month and into March. Steers made up 61 percent of the feeders, heifers 39 percent, 85 percent over 600 lbs. Next feeder cattle sale is next Thursday, February 21.
