No price trend can be made for the first sale of 2024; the last reported sale was 4 weeks ago. Demand was good for this offering with premium prices going to fully vaccinated, weaned, black hided calves. Flesh condition was mixed and also a factor in prices. Winter weather has set in with temperatures slowly becoming more seasonable in the area. Snow fall just before Christmas brought some moisture, but also deteriorated conditions in yards.
