As filed

No price trends were established with the last regular sale on Jan 8th, however steers under 800 lbs sold with a higher undertone with weights over 800 lbs selling with a steady undertone. All weights of heifers sold with a higher undertone. Callaway Livestock held a special Friday feeder sale to catch up on marketings following the recent harsh winter conditions. The sale didn't take long with several load lots and numerous 15-40 head drafts. A large offering is still on tap for Monday's regular sale with lots of grass cattle expected.
