As filed

First feeder cattle sale in three weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for calves in today's offering which will fit grass programs, especially those with black hides. Good demand for feeding type cattle. Many packages and quite a few loads of calves offered today, in light to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Mostly average to attractive quality today. An active market with the normal crowd of buyers and farmer feeders in the seats. Another cold day today with wind chills below zero. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, January 14.
