**** This was the final sale of 2025. There will be a two week break during the
holidays and sales will resume January 8th ****
Compared to last week: Steer prices were mostly mixed, partly due to plainer
quality. Steer calves weighing 400-450 brought 16.00 higher with 600 weight
cattle bringing 17.00-19.00 higher. Most other classes sharply lower. Heifers
fared well on stronger demand this week with most classes making gains. Heifers
weighing 400-425 gained 17.00 and 500-525 gained 22.00. Average to high
yielding slaughter cows gained 14.00-16.00 on good demand. There was also a
good representation of slaughter bulls and replacement cattle that sold well.
Trade was active on good demand. May everyone have a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!
