As filed

No comparable trades as this market was last reported 3 weeks ago. All classes sold strong as future prices continue to climb. Trade activity and demand very good. Today's run was loaded with several consignor's, selling from 10-40 head and several big consignments of 50-250 head. Buyer interest was strong on the long weaned pre-conditioned drafts of calves on vaccination programs. The next available report will be Friday, December 10, 2021.
