As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 750 lbs sold 8.00-15.00 higher, heavier weights sold mostly steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs steady, 500-700 lbs 8.00-10.00 higher and yearlings steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for the first sale of the year and several attractive consignments of weaned calves and yearlings were offered. Some rejuvenation was felt in the market on the board and ringside as there is optimism for the new year. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher.
