As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs sold mostly 9.00 to 11.50 higher. Feeder heifers were too thinly tested to accurately compare. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher, while slaughter bulls sold 4.00 higher. The barn will not have auctions the next two weeks due to Christmas and New Year's holidays. The next scheduled auction will be Tuesday, January 9, 2024.
