Last reported sale was three weeks ago a market comparison is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted throughout the day. Demand was good with several buyers on the seats with active buying from the internet. Offering comprised of mostly weaned calves with fall vaccinations and a handful of yearlings in the run. Next week January 16 will be a special calf and feeder auction.
