As filed

Last sale was four weeks ago so an accurate trend can not be established. Good to very demand for today's offering of calves, and old crop yearlings. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate fleshed back grounded cattle. Nice offering of very attractive steers and heifers with several consignments offered in multiple loads, also there were plenty of part loads and packages for buyers to choose from. Order buyers in the seats and internet sales made a very attractive market. Recent sever winter weather has kept cattle green and made things difficult for producers to take care of their livestock. Most of the country has experienced substantial snow fall and bitter cold temperatures over the holidays. Next feeder sale will be next Friday, January 13, 2023. Happy 2023 make it the year of beef for dinner.
