No recent sale for a price comparison. Really an attractive offering this week coming from a long list of reputation consignors, with everything from short or unweaned fall calves to several loads of wrung out yearling cattle. Pretty quiet day for cattle futures but the local cash trade found plenty of support elsewhere based on quality alone as well as numbers growing increasingly tight. Supply heavy, demand very good.
