As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady on the day. A large crowed filled the pavilion on a beautiful January day. Auction was fast paced from start to finish as buyers bid readily for mostly home raised calves and feeder cattle that had been weaned for a long time with at least two rounds of shots. Bulk of the run sold in small lots throughout the day. Next week January 17, will be a Special weaned calf and feeder auction expecting 3000 head.
