There were too few head the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted for all classes. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average to attractive. Baby calves (17 head) ranged 10.00 to 50.00 per head.
