This was the first weaned and vaccinated sale of the year. All cattle are weaned at least 30 days and have 1 round of shots. Nice offering today. With the little bit of moisture we have had the last couple weeks I think farmers are hoping the moisture keeps trickling in thru the winter. No recent weaned and vaccinated sales to compare to.
