As filed

First reported sale in three weeks a trend is not applicable. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Nice offering of yearling feeders the bulk of which came off the summer grass with some coming out of the grow yards. Quite a few preg checked open heifers along with one set of bawling spring calves sold in the mix.
