As filed

This is the second of two 2022 Stock Show Specials at Centennial Livestock. The sale was well attended for the pre-consigned trades, providing active trade and good demand. The run consisted mostly of large lots of cattle with at least two rounds of vaccinations and weaned over 30 days. Compared to last weeks Stock Show Special: Steers were 3.00-4.00 lower and heifers were 2.00-6.00 lower. Next feeder sale will be January 27, 2022.
