As filed

There were too few offerings last week to create a report. Although, a comparison to last week cannot be made, prices on feeder cattle suggests a higher trend; feeder steers with an uneven average of 10.00 higher and feeder heifers 8.00 higher on average. Feeder calves were real attractive with a green to moderate flesh condition. Sales in the market were active with a good demand. Next sale is Jan 31, 2020.
