As filed

With 2 light sales in a row, there was no good comparison. Cattle sold steady to slightly lower with good demand. We did just have a good sized "special" sale on Tuesday that had 3000+ head, so some of the cattle were sold earlier this week. The cattle are still predominantly unweaned with little to no price difference as long as they have shots. Receipts were light with good demand.
