As filed

First reported sale in recent weeks so a price trend can not be established. Moderate to good demand for a light offering today featuring a couple of loads and packages. Quality varied quite a bit, from plain to attractive. The majority of the calves were weaned and in moderate to moderate plus flesh condition. A moderate to active market with most activity on loads. less buyers attending the sale than normally seen. Very cold temperatures and windchill today with these conditions continuing through the weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, January 18 featuring Red and Black Angus Replacement heifers.
