As filed

No recently tested market for a true price comparison. Really good showing for the Annual Angus and Angus Factored Calf and Yearling Special to kick off the fall run after a long, hot summer. Several loads of yearlings were featured throughout the day, most in excellent condition with plenty of good left in them. Demand was good for all weights and classes of cattle with several stick out sales along the way, including a partial load of 661 lb steers that sold just one chant short of that 3.00/cwt mark and a few loads of 710-720 lb backgrounded heifers bringing just over $1850/head. Supply moderate.
