First report of the New Year: Comparing to the last report of 2019, four weeks ago, feeder steers had wide price spreads with comparable weights 8.00 higher; feeder heifers were 6.00 - 9.00 higher in the comparable weights. The new year brought a higher number of heavier calves. Offerings were inconsistent with some calves not weaned to calves weaned for a couple of months, some with pre-conditioned shots to some with only branding time. There was a good demand with active market activity for this sale. Next sale is Jan 17, 2020.
