Yearlings were limited in numbers today selling as packages and part loads. Replacement heifers were well received today and were met with very good demand. Many attractive calves offered in loads and multiple loads were met with very good demand. Several opportunities to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle, up to six loads in the same sort. Most of todays offering were long time weaned, fully pre conditioned, clean and attractive for quality. Flesh conditions ranged from light fleshed hay fed cattle to moderate plus coming out of grow yards. An active to very active market as framer feeders and order buyers were competing with internet buyers. Buyers continue to chase the cash market higher as the futures market continues to play catchup. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday January 17, 2025.
