The last sale was three weeks ago and a lot has gone on with the CME cattle boards in that time frame with a mostly downward trend prevailing in Chicago. However, looking back to three weeks ago at the sale barn most lots of steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher and heifers sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Demand was good with a large crowd of order buyers along with some ranchers procuring cattle for summer turnout. Some lots were weaned and others were right off the cow. Two weeks, Dec 19 will be the next special calf and feeder sale.
