As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to weak. Demand was moderate. Light crowd of buyers on the seats with some buying on the internet. Blustery cold and snow at the sale barn and in the trade, area kept some buyers at home on Friday. Most lots of cattle displayed weigh up in buyers' favor. Next Friday, January 19 will be a bred heifer and bred cow auction with around 2500 head on the books.
