Trade activity and demand moderate. Feeder steers under 550 lbs were unevenly steady, and steers over 550 lbs traded mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs traded 2.00 to 8.00 higher and heifers over 600 lbs traded 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Today's run was comprised mostly of long weaned calves with multiple rounds of vaccinations. The next available report will be Friday, January 10, 2020 for a Stock Show Special sale.
