Note: No sale Wednesday, December 24, 2025.

Compared to last week, Steers over 700 lbs sold steady strong, under 700 sold 10.00 to 30.00 higher. Heifers over 700 lbs sold 3.00 lower while under 700 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher with a couple instances of 26.00 to 30.00 higher. Lower price instances due to minimal vaccinations and quality. A small lot of 7 steers weighing 309 lbs sold for 630.00 cwt. Average dressing Slaughter cows sold 3.00 higher. Very good demand for heavy supply.
