As filed

This is the first sale of 2023 therefore no trends are available. However, a sharply higher undertone was noted when comparing price and demand to the previous sale.

Attendance was good with active buyer participation both online and in person. Offerings of cattle were moderate and in very good demand with active trade. Quality was fair to good and cattle that were long-weaned and preconditioned saw the highest interest from buyers.
