Chill December
llh nd after him [November] came next the chill
II December; Yet he through merry feasting which
ll he made. And great bonfires, did not the cold
remember... ” Edmund Spenser (1552-1599) penned
rhymes such as this for each of the 12 months and thus
gave us a modem-day prescription for warming the days
of this wintry month. With the holidays ahead, festive
feasts with family and fnends may consume you. Mark
your calendar now, reserving . .
time for planting ‘Paper
White’ narcissus, preparing
nuts or popping popcorn, B
you have some. Remember
the gift of time; not all presents can be purchased.
Small gifts make friends, great ones make
enemies
cr Candles, plants, breads, or books make great gifts for
those who prefer less stuff.

Report Supplied By USDA
Compared to last week: Calves and
light yearlings under 700 lbs 1.00-3.00
higher. Feeder steers over 700 lbs steady
to 1.00 higher, feeder heifers not well
tested. Demand good for all classes.
Demand remains good for light numbers
of feeder cattle, especially after last Fri
day’s bullish COF report. Placements
showed only 36 percent of the cattle
placed in October weighed over 700 lbs
and with continued light runs of feeders
this trend is expected to continue. Qual
ity plain thru attractive. Calves in thin to
fleshy conditions with more dried out
weaned calves included; feeder cattle in
slightly thin to moderate flesh condi
tions. Weigh-ups average to gaunt, few
full.
Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower.
Slaughter bulls 1.00-1.50 lower. Packer
demand very light due to upcoming
Thanksgiving holiday. Quality replace
ment cows sold noticebly higher as lim
ited availability and high calf prices
have raised the bar for these. Majority of
cows returned to country for calving,
grazing programs, or feedlots. Total of
720 cows and bulls sold with 35 percent
to packers. Receipts this week 11,250;
last week 11,135; last year 5816.
Supply consisted of 39 percent calves
and yearlings over 600 lbs; 55 percent
