No sale last week due to Christmas and different weight classes compared to two weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for calves today depending on flesh and hide color. Lots of packages and loads of home raised calves on offer, a few consignments still coming off the cow but the majority were long time weaned. Flesh varied, from moderate to heavy at times. Quite a few colored cattle in the mix today. Some tag today as the area received rain and snow after Christmas and yard conditions really deteriorated. Despite this bout of weather, temperatures have remained above normal for this time of year. An active market seen for today's offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, January 10.
