As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher except 550 lbs - 600 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. 4 loads of the same source yearling steers weighing 1000 lbs plus were 2.00 lower this week. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower, except 400 lbs to 500 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of feeder was was moderate. Rounds of shots, days weaned and black hide effect the demand as well. Flesh conditions were moderate today. Another round of cold weather and possible snow coming mid to end of the week, scared some buyers. Both CME Feeders and Corn were lower today. Slaughter cows in a light test sold with lower undertones. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

No Sale next week due to the Holiday. Have a Very Merry Christmas!
