Compared to last week: calves and yearlings too lightly tested today to develop an accurate price trend, lower undertones noted on most weight classes of calves. Just one load and a couple packages of yearlings in the offering today, most of these plain to average in quality. Both yearlings and calves met with moderate to good demand. Mostly packages of calves today with just a couple loads. A few weaned consignments, but most of the calves still off the cow. Quality and flesh varied, and most calves had at least fall shots. A moderate to active market seen for today's offering. This is the last feeder cattle sale of 2020, next feeder cattle sale will be Friday, January 8, 2021. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
