Compared with last week steers less than 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher, over 600 lbs sold unevenly steady. Most heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower, excepts 7 weight sold 2.00 higher on a thin test. Nice run of native, ranched raised, longtime weaned and light fleshed steers and heifers though out the day. Some loads going to out of state backgrounders and yearling operations. Demand was moderate to good. Next Auction Date Jan 24th Special Bred Cow and Heifer Auction
