Ozarks Regional Stockyard held its Annual December Pre-Vac sale on Friday, December 3 with a good offering of weaned and vaccinated feeder calves from several reputation herds. There we no recent special feeder sales for an adequate comparison, however compared to Tuesday's regular sale, feeder steers traded 2.00-4.00 higher with some 7 weights 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers, compared to Tuesday, traded 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply which was presented in packages averaging 8.5 hd/draft.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
