First reported sale in three weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. A special BBQ sale today, formerly known as the Birthday Sale, featuring a large offering of many strings, loads, and packages of both home raised and backgrounded cattle including quite a few fall born calves. Very good demand for all classes of cattle today. Grass turnout is upon us and cattle which could fill empty pastures were very sought after. Varied flesh condition today, from moderate to some heavy flesh, buyers showed less discrimination toward flesh condition and more interest in getting cattle bought. An active market which just got stronger throughout the day. Many opportunities to buy multi[le loads to fill pens which buyers took advantage of. No sale next week due to Memorial Day weekend, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
