As filed

First reported sale in a month a market trend is not applicable. However, a sharply higher undertone was noted on yearling feeders. Demand was good with several buyers bidding on Friday's receipts. Bulk of the cattle came off summer grass and mostly sold in load lots. Few, bawling calves in the run coming off cows they split as their moms went to slaughter. Heavy supply of slaughter cows and bulls on the day with a large portion going back to the county to feed. Next special calf and feeder auction will be in two weeks on July 23rd.
