This is the first weaned and vaccinated sale of the season. All cattle today were weaned 30 + days and have had their shots. Really nice cattle today. No real comparables since the last special calf sale would have been mostly unweaned. Really nice group of cattle today, though. The next weaned and vaccinated sale will be on January 6th, and there is a special cow sale on December 16th. Receipts were light to moderate with moderate demand.
