As filed

Not enough feeders recently for adequate price comparison, undertones were sharply higher. Several pre-vac cattle in the offering today which found good demand and producers were rewarded for their investments. A full pot load of 8 wt steers highlighted the offering. Although still hot the weather cooled a touch from what it has been and the area even received a bit of rain which helped moods and brought a few more cattle to town this week. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
