The last Feeder Cattle Sale was 4 weeks ago, so no market comparison can be made for this first sale of 2023. Demand for this offering was mostly moderate; however, larger load lots at the beginning of the sale sold with higher demand. Market activity was moderate, with several of the regular buyers missing from the seats. Lots of smaller packages came in weaned up with two sets of shots, and the pricing on those reflected the extra work. Most of the calves were in good condition, despite last month's harsh weather conditions that delayed lots of sales. January 6 is the next Feeder Calf Special, selling all classes.
