As filed

First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for today's large yearling offering. A couple strings, many loads, and many, many packages made up the offering, including many tested open and spayed heifers. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate with almost all the cattle coming to town off grass. Weigh up varied with some cattle exhibiting a little fill today. Quality ranged from plain to attractive. An active market with many buyers attending the auction today. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
