As filed

First reported sale in a month, market trend not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted. Thursday's sale was the 70th Anniversary auction drawing a big crowd of mostly order buyers. Buyers bid readily from start to finish on weaned, bawling fall calves and yearling feeder cattle. Quite of a lot of the yearlings came off of rye and early summer grass pastures. Offerings displayed mostly medium flesh with a few light fleshed cattle in the run. Next special calf and feeder auction will be in two week, June 24th.
