As filed

First reported sale of the season, no price comparisons available. The market was very active for this anniversary yearling special sale. Many long strings of high quality yearlings offered in full loads and multiple load lots, along with ample packages to put together and fill loads out. The futures contracts continue to offer little support to the cash market, but cattle buyers were not deterred from the chance to buy yearlings right off grass, and competed very heavily to get cattle bought as strings of yearlings are in tight supply. Flesh condition ranged from very light to moderate plus, as some cattle have been fed a little as the drought conditions have been severe and forced some off grass early.
