As filed

Last feeder sale three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for several long strings and loads of yearling steers, most of these in moderate plus flesh. Moderate to good demand for a handful of loads and many packages which made up today's calf offering. Flesh varied, and quality mostly average to attractive. A few consignments of unweaned calves, these were discounted at times. An active market seen for this offering. Temperatures remain very mild for this time of year. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 15.
