As filed

No recently tested market for a price comparison, undertone higher. Very active trade for all weights and classes for the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Sale with several new faces in the crowd ready to buy some cattle. Quality was attractive throughout the day with good flesh condition on most of the offering. Demand was good across the board with the yearling load lots and 500-600 lb heifers generating the most interest. Supply was heavy but was easily absorbed across a number of buyers.
