Thursday, December 5, 2013 - Regular Sale

 432 head in today's auction.  The overall market was very good considering over 1/2 the males were bulls.  Very few were weaned and not many were vaccinated.  Some may compare today's prices to weaned/vaccinated price and think the market was softer.  In reality, the weaned/vaccinated cattle are a lot cheaper than bawling calves with no shots.
