As filed

Compared to last week's much heavier receipts most offerings of feeders were lightly or not well tested, with 500-550 lb steer calves trading near steady and 500-650 lb heifers also trading near steady on the better quality with all other feeders not well tested on comparable sales. Feeders were mostly in small lots or packages with the 500-550 lb steers and 500-650 lb heifers not quit reaching last week's highs with quantity and quality were much more available last week. Slaughter cows traded steady. This was the last sale of the year at Callaway Livestock Center the next sale will be Monday, January 2nd, 2023. Wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
