First reported sale in recent weeks a market trend is not applicable. Wednesday sale consisted of top quality, long time weaned ranched raised calves. Several packages and load lots sold on the day. Along with several lots of top quality bangs vaccinated replacement heifers. A large crowd of buyers bid readily from start to finish with several staying to the end of the sale to fill out loads. Next week January 13, will be a Special Bred Heifer and Cow Sale.
