As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, cattle trended steady to higher. Had a nice run of fall calves on the sale, with the majority of them being weaned at least 30 days and preconditioned. An outstanding run of yearling cattle. Demand was good with a good group of buyers in the seats and an active internet bid. Next sale is April 27th.
