As filed

Compared to the last regular sale, which was two weeks ago due to the holiday steers and heifers sold lower on a light test. The receipts were light with moderate demand. The first weaned and vaccinated sale of the season will be next Tuesday, December 5th. It should be a larger sale, with over 3,000 head already consigned.
