Last sale was four weeks ago so an accurate trend con not be established. Good to very good demand for today's offering of calves, fall calves and old crop yearlings. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate fleshed back grounded cattle. Nice offering of very attractive steers and heifers with several consignments offered in multiple loads, also there were plenty of part loads and packages for buyers to choose from. Warmer and drier weather in the area has kept cattle clean and gaining weight very well. Mostly order buyers on the seats and internet sales made a very active market. The next feeder sale will be Friday, January 15th.
