As filed

Thursday's offering comprised of mostly fall bred cows with some spring pairs and slaughter cattle in the run. Most offerings are to town due to dry range conditions in the trade area. There were a few complete dispersal's on the day. Cows continue to migrate to "greener" pastures mostly east of Valentine. Some load lots are traveling to Iowa, Missouri and staying within the Cornhusker state. Most bulls were turned in for 30-45 days with some up to 60 days. Nice crowd of buyers on the seats along with several lots going to internet buyers. Next sale will be on July 8, comprising of yearling feeder cattle.
