AuctionsPlus commercial cattle listings started 2024 with low offerings, although this is typical of the first week of January, where the focus on the southern weaner sales is in full swing, and the holiday season is still continuing for many. The offering of 4,536 head was met with subdued demand at a 52% clearance rate, while VOR averaged $106/head, and the AuctionsPlus Young Cattle Indicator averaged 318c/kg DW.
