As filed

First feeder cattle sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Moderate to good demand for feeder calves today. Only a couple loads available with the rest of the offering in packages. Quality varied, but mostly average overall. Bitter cold weather and windchills kept some of the calves at home today, tonight is expected to be another very cold night. A moderate to active market with a few less buyers and farmer feeders attending the sale today. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, January 13.
