As filed

This is the second weaned and vaccinated sale of the season. Farmers and Ranchers will have 2 more special weaned and vaccinated sales coming up next Tuesday and the first Tuesday of February. There is no good comparison since this is a special sale and the last special calf sale was a month ago, however the overall market trend seemed to have a higher tone. Receipts were moderate with good demand.
