Compared to the last sale on 12/19/22: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher, most advance on heavier weights. Feeder heifers 1.00-3.00 higher. Steer calves mostly steady but thin fleshed calves continue to sell at a big premium. Heifer calves 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand very good for calves. Several calves in supply are in thin condition. The effects of the drought are evident with several light weight cattle available and few over 600 lbs. Also because of the drought, it appears that many mid weight cattle are headed to dry winter grass or the feedyard instead of wheat. Quality average to attractive. Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (52% Steers, 46% Heifers, 3% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 46%.
