As filed

Compared to last week on the comparable offerings, steers over 500 lbs sold 3.00 higher and heifers 450-650 sold steady to 5.00 lower with 650-750 lbs heifers selling steady. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Blizzard like conditions overnight shortened the expected receipts at Wednesday sale. Wind gust up to 60 mph aided in travel problems and compromised visibility. Next Wednesday, December 30th will be the last feeder auction of 2020.
