As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, so no market comparison can be made; however, a higher undertone was noted with several offerings of fully weaned up and vaccinated calves, including several groups of bangs vaccinated heifers. Good demand on several strings of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers despite a winter storm that rolled in early, bringing some much needed moisture to some areas. The next sale is February 18, and is a Bred Cow Special, selling all classes.
