As filed

This was the first weaned and vaccinated sale of 2021. Compared to last months weaned and vaccinated sale steers under 650 lbs were steady to 10.00 higher and steers over 650 lbs were 1.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers under 450 lbs were 1.00 to 9.00 lower and heifers over 450 lbs were 3.00 to 14.00 higher. There were replacement quality heifers in the 650 - 800 lb range that brought an additional 4.00 to 9.00 more than the average of their weight class. There was good supply due to the break for the holidays and the demand was good.
