As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher, with a few spots sharply higher, mostly light calves under 500 lbs. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Pretty good market to wrap up 2021 as this is the last feeder cattle auction of the year here at Green CIty Livestock. Some pretty impressive prices were reached throughout the day as buyers found some stock they couldn't let pass by or as they squared their loads. The forecasted 30 plus degree drop expected Wednesday night into Thursday morning did little to deter calf buyers. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
