As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, cattle trended higher through the day. Had a good run of yearling cattle with a few fall/summer calves sprinkled in. Demand was good with a strong set of buyers in the seats and an active internet bid. All cattle weaned and preconditioned a minimum of 30 days. Next Preconditioned sale Monday April 13TH.
