As filed

First sale in several weeks, no recent price comparisons available. Very good demand for this nice offering of long strings and full loads of high quality feeder steers and heifers. Flesh condition is very attractive as the extreme cold weather during the week of Christmas really greened the calves up. The heavy snows received recently should help to fill stock dams when the runoff occurs and get the grass started in the spring as well, this fact has helped to support the market for those light cattle that will run on next summers grass as yearlings. Next feeder cattle auction will be in two weeks, Jan 23, 2023.
