Reporter comment USDA

As filed

The last reported sale was 4 weeks ago therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for several Load Lots and many Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on an Active Market. Nearly the entire offering was Home Raised, weaned at least 45 days, and had multiple rounds of vaccinations. Much of the Supply carried Light to Moderate Flesh with a favorable weigh-up, those showing tag, fill, and/or heavier flesh experienced more Moderate trade activity. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is January 18, expecting 6,000 Head.
