As filed

First reported sale since June, a market comparison is not applicable. Large crowd was on hand for the annual customer appreciation BBQ sale. The sale was fast paced from start to finish as buyers in-house and on the internet bid readily for bawling calves, weaned calves and feeder cattle. Some feeders came off of short dry summer grass. Most calves had spring vaccinations with a few lots having a second round of shots. Few, more than normal bawling calves on hand Monday due to the dry pasture conditions in the local trade area.
