As filed

Very good demand for this month's sale that featured weaned steers and heifers. The market was very active, especially for those cattle that will be suitable for summer grazing. The large amounts of moisture recently received has feeder cattle producers feeling very optimistic about the coming grazing season. Good demand for the bred heifers and cows as well. 100% of the video auction came from the West region. Current deliveries are cattle that will deliver up to 14 days from the last sale day, up to and including January 19, 2023. The next sale is scheduled for January 26, 2023.

Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.
