Compared to last week: The original sale on Wednesday December 14, was moved to Saturday December 17, due to inclement weather. Trade activity and demand were good. Steer calves under 600 lbs traded 2.00 to 8.00 higher, while steers between 600 to 650 lbs traded 3.00 lower and steers over 650 lbs traded 3.00 higher. Heifer calves under 650 lbs traded 2.00 to 5.00 lower, while those over 650 lbs traded 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Today's run consisted mostly of pre-conditioned calves with the majority having multiple rounds of vaccinations and most being weaned between 30-90 days. The next available report will be a calf and bred special on December 21, 2022.
