As filed

First reported feeder in a couple of weeks a market trend is not applicable. Demand was moderate to good. Buik of the sales comprised of small packages with only a handful of loads lots on the day. Most consignments were home raised and have been weaned for over 90 days. Several consignments had two to three rounds of shots, poured and wormed. Some of the pressure from the CME cattle boards carried over to Monday's market. Next Monday, January 11 will be a special wean calf sale.
