As filed

Last sale was four weeks ago so an accurate trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for today's calf offering featuring several loads and many packages with best demand seen for calves suitable for grass and selling in loads. Calves today were all long time weaned and preconditioned and most were in light to moderate flesh. Quality mostly attractive today. An active market with many buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, January 14.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
