As filed

This was Sheridan's first sale in three weeks so no trend will be given. There was a good crowd on hand today for big strings as well as some packages of weaned and preconditioned calves as well as some replacement type heifers. Trade today was good with demand being good throughout the sale with a higher undertone noted. Sheridan's next sale will be a special bred cow and heifer sale January 15.
