As filed

First reported sale in nearly a month a market trend is not applicable. Supply included bawling spring calves, few weaned spring calves and yearlings with the bulk of the yearlings out of backgrounding lots. Some of the calves had fall vaccinations including a respiratory shot. Demand mostly good for the calves with moderate to instances good demand for yearling cattle. Light crowd of buyers on the seats as farmer/feeders are chopping silage or starting to pack high moisture corn.
