As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers under 750 lbs sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher, over 750 lbs sold 4.00 to 9.00 higher. Heifers sold 3.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand was good from a large group of farmer/feeder buyers with a handful of order buyers playing along. Bulk of the sale sold in small lots with only a handful of full load lots on the day. Several consignments of steers and heifers sold implant free as some packers buyers will seek those lots when they are market ready. Every Monday throughout January will be a special wean calf and feeder cattle sale with start time at 10:30 sharp.
