As filed

No recent test of market for an accurate comparison a trend will not be given for the first auction of the new year at Burwell Livestock Market. Demand was moderate to good with several bids from out of state buyers and the internet. Cooler weather this week with freezing moisture during the day and heavy fog. Next auction dates for Jan 15th Special Calf and Feeder Auction and 22nd Special Bred Cow and Heifer Auction
