No recent Value Added Sale for a price comparison. The last Value Added sale was a month ago. Demand good, supply heavy. Good weather for the first sale of the new year and trade was active on all weights of cattle. Calves are weaned forty five days or more, on a vaccination program, and heifers are guaranteed open.
