    Better time to sell? Now or closer to Christmas.

    I have nine yearlings ready to sell and two cows that I am culling. Do you think next week will be a good time to sell or do I need to wait until later in December? No sale last week and only three more this year. I do not want to keep them until January. Any advice will be appreciated.
