Too light an offering to compared to last week and develop an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on calves. Good demand for both yearlings and calves today. Just a couple loads and some packages of yearlings with quite a few tested open heifers. Less flesh overall on yearlings this week. Mostly packages of calves today. Not quite half of the calves were weaned, some only for a short time. Most calves had some preconditioning and flesh varied, mostly light to moderate overall. An active market with a few less buyers and farmer feeders attending the sale. This is the last feeder cattle sale of 2023, next feeder cattle sale will be January 3, 2024. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
