Compared to two weeks ago, cattle tended lower. Had a good run of feeders with all cattle being preconditioned and weaned 30+ days. Demand was good with a lot of buyers in the seats and an active internet.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
