As filed

Compared to last sale: No comparison is available as this is the first auction reported in over a month. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Today's run was the first of two stock show specials that included mostly larger runs of cattle with at least two rounds of vaccinations and typical wean times of 45 to 90 days. The next available report will be Thursday, January 14, 2021.
