As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and many packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on an Active to Very Active Market. The Supply was a mix of weaned calves and calves off the cow, some showing more fill and tag than others but mostly were clean, open haired calves with a favorable weigh-up. This was the final Feeder Cattle Sale of 2022, the next Feeder Cattle Sale is January 10, 2023. Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
