As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Trade was very active for the Annual Beef BBQ Customer Appreciation Sale, traditionally known for load lots of top notch yearlings. Quality, as expected, was outstanding and weigh ups were excellent throughout the day. The load lots were aggressively pursued and scattered across a handful of buyers, in many instances repeat customers who knew just what these cattle were capable of. Several other buyers did jump in throughout the day, putting together strings of home raised cattle. Supply moderate to heavy and demand good.
