As filed

Compared to last week steers under 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 7.00 lower, over 800 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers under 550 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and over 550 lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was good from start to finish on a heavy supply of mainly long time weaned steers and heifers. Sharply lower cattle boards on Tuesday with continue sell off on Wednesday had buyers pull back their bids especially on cattle going straight to the feed lot. Monday Jan 10 will be a Special Bred Cow and Heifer sale. Wednesday Jan 12 will be a Special Calf and Feeder Auction.
