Last sale was December 13, so a market trend can not be made. Today's calves sold on very good demand, with a few load lots and some nice smaller packages. Market was active, with several buyers in the stands and on the internet. Most of today's offering were home raised, spring calves, fully weaned, and with two rounds of shots. Weather in the area has been seasonal with some light moisture. The next Feeder Calf sale will be January 17.
