Thursday, December 18, 2014 - Regular Sale
292 cattle sold today on a pretty good note considering the Merc hasn't been very good to us over the past couple of weeks. Calves still bring a lot of dollars per head. The feeder market was surprisingly good even though there were very few preconditioned cattle below 600#. Bigger feeders show the most weakness resulting from the board's action. There was a dispersion of 50 bred cows in the sale and they also sold well.
