As filed

First reported feeder cattle sale in several weeks a market trend is not applicable. A higher undertone was noted through the day on most weights and classes of cattle on hand. Demand was good for steers and heifers that might get turned out on summer grass with moderate demand for feeder cattle. Most lots were longtime weaned with a full vaccination protocol. Next Tuesday, January 17 will be a bred heifer and cow sale and in two weeks on January 24 will be a special calf and feeder auction.
