Compared to last week Feeder Steers under 550 2.00 to 4.00 lower, 550 to 650 4.00 to 5.00 higher, 650 to 700 2.00 higher, Feeder Heifers under 400 3.00 lower, 400 to 450 Steady, 450 to 650 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 650 to 700 3.00 lower. Good Demand for a smaller offering of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active Market. The majority of the Supply consisted of Spring Calves with Spring and Fall vaccinations and approximately half of the supply was Weaned and half was not. This was the Final Sale of 2019, the next Sale is January 7, Bred Cow and Feeder Cattle Special, January 14 is the next Feeder Cattle Special, expecting 4,000 Head. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
