As filed

Sale not reported in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for today's large offering featuring mostly strings of big, backgrounded cattle. Flesh varied from moderate to some heavy flesh at times. Lots of attractive quality cattle to choose from with plenty of opportunities to fill pens with multiple loads, which buyers did quite often. An active market with buyers determined to fill pens as sales get more sporadic and there are fewer opportunities to get cattle bought. The area saw cooler temperatures this week with rain on and off throughout the week. Some parts of the state and into MN have large amounts of rain and flooding which has limited cattle being sent to these areas. Weather looks warmer and drier for the next week. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
