This is the first report for Spring 2024. While offerings were moderate, quality was good to very good and demand for all classes was very good. Sale attendance was good thanks in part to cooler weather that came in last night. Buyer activity on the internet was very active. Many cattle offered today had light to moderate flesh, ideal for upcoming grazing.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
