As filed

Compared to last week steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower, over 700 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher, over 650 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Crazy weather in the area on Wednesday as strong winds prevailed, then rain, a tornado warning, hail in some areas with a chance of snow later this evening. Sale comprised of mostly weaned calves with some bawlers in the mix. Next Wednesdays' Dec 22 and the 29th will be a Special calf and feeder sales.
