Different weight classes of both yearlings and calves compared to two weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be developed. Good demand for both yearlings and calves today. A handful of loads and a few packages of yearlings, mostly heifers, in mostly moderate to moderate plus flesh condition. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. A nice offering of calves, most of these weaned and vaccinated, including a couple loads of backgrounded steers. Calves open haired and in moderate to moderate plus flesh. An active market seen for this first offering of the year. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 10.
