Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low receipts, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand in the seats and on the internet for Several Stings, Part Loads and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. The entire Offering came off grass and carried Light to Moderate Flesh, with a nice presentation. Today's Supply included the first of the much anticipated Spring Calf Offering and was very well received. The Next Feeder Cattle Sales are September 23 & 30 (expecting just packages on both sales). The Next expected Reported Sale is October 7th, Yearling and Spring Calf Special.

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