As filed

Last feeder cattle sale was four weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this large offering featuring both yearlings and calves, about half of each. Yearlings sold in loads and strings, flesh condition mostly moderate to moderate plus. Challenging weather has kept these cattle from getting too fleshy. Quite a few loads and many packages of calves, most of these average to attractive in quality. Flesh mostly light to moderate plus. The majority of the offering was weaned, however, a couple consignments came off the cow and these calves were quite green. An active market for this offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 13.
