As filed

All cattle today had at least a 30 day wean and 1 round of shots, a lot of cattle had a 45 + wean and 2 rds of shots. Very nice cattle today. Due to this being a special weaned and vaccinated sale there was no sale to compare it to. Farmers and Ranchers will be having 3 more weaned and vaccinated sales after the first of the year. The receipts were moderate with very good demand.
