As filed

On this last sale of the spring, moderate offerings of mostly average through good quality cattle were on hand today. Good to very good demand for feeder classes weighing under 575 lbs, with some instances of heifers and bulls out-selling steer cattle of similar weights. Demand was moderate at best for feeder classes over 575 lbs. Recent colder weather and snow showers this morning aided in a higher than normal sale attendance by producers, as well as lighter demand for freshly weaned calves. The next sale is scheduled for August 19, 2022.
