First feeder cattle sale in three weeks so a price trend cannot be established. A large run of home raised, long time weaned, attractive quality calves on offer today. Light fleshed, light weight calves which could fit grass programs saw very good demand. Good demand for heavier feeding type calves. Quite a few opportunities to buy several loads of one man's cattle today. About 1500 head of cancellations due to the weather. Some areas saw blizzard conditions yesterday with visibility issues extending into today. Very cold temperatures and wind chills today and tomorrow. An active market with good attendance despite the weather. Special feeder cattle sale Saturday, January 8, and regular sale on Wednesday, January 12.
