Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate. Livestock Exchange hosted the 2nd of 3 stock show specials with the run comprising of calves weaned as far back as September. Steers and heifers were home raised, pre-conditioned on vaccination programs with up to 3 rounds. Feeder steers under 550 lbs traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 lower, 550-700 lbs mostly 6.00 to 8.00 lower, and over 700 lbs mostly 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs traded 1.00 to 8.00 higher, 550-650 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower, and over 650 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. The next available report will be Friday, January 22, 2021.
