Sale not reported for 4 weeks due to the Holidays therefore no Market Comparison may be made. Good Demand for Several Long Strings and Many Packages and Part Loads of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers. High Quality, Attractive calves with a favorable weighup sold on a Strong, Very Active Market; calves with heavier flesh, tag, and fill sold on a more Moderate Market. Overall it was an Active Market for the first offering of Feeder Cattle for the New Year. Next week will be a Bred Cow Special, the next Feeder Cattle Special will be January 28, Expecting 7,000 Head.
