As filed

First reported sale in several weeks a market trend is not applicable. Demand was moderate to good from start to finish with several buyers in house and buying off the internet. Several lots of weigh up cattle went back to the country to feed or breed. Most lots of cattle were light to medium fleshed. Most consignments of pairs had at least one round of vaccinations. Light rain in the trade area early Friday morning will help the grass green up and flourish.
