Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Last reported sale was two weeks ago. Not enough comparable offerings for a market comparison. Spotty rain showers in the trade area overnight brought a large crowd to the auction to procure grass cattle, pairs and feeder cattle. Most of the fall calves were weaned and most of the feeders came from back grounding facilities. 300 head of slaughter cattle included in the total head count. Next auction will be in two weeks on June 19th.
