As filed

Last feeder cattle sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Moderate to good demand for feeder cattle today with load lots seeing the best demand and light calves under 400 lbs seeing the least demand. Flesh mostly light to moderate, the weather has been extremely hard on livestock the past two weeks and many cattle have lost condition. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. A moderate market with a light attendance of buyers and a few farmer feeders, this sale was supposed to take place two weeks ago but has been postponed due to weather. Many producers are still digging out from the last blizzard and cold weather. Big bred cattle sale next Thursday, January 5, with some feeders expected, watch local listings to see if there will be a reportable amount. Happy New Year!
