As filed

No comparisons are available because the auction was not reported last week. The day prior to this sale, Shipshewana hosted a special Sheep and Goat sale which impacted lighter receipts for the auction today. Favorable weather conditions also kept many area farmers in the fields this week which impacted receipts.
