As filed

Sale not recently reported due to Seasonally low Receipts, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand in the seats and moderate demand on the Internet for Several Load Lots and Packages of Spring Calves and Several Part Loads and Packages of Feeder Steers and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Nearly all the Yearling Heifers were tested open off the keepers, had an attractive presentation, were off grass, and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. The Spring Calves in the Offering are about a month earlier than normal due to dry conditions in some of the surrounding areas. Despite the dry conditions the Spring Calves were healthy, shiny, fully vaccinated, and carried a very favorable weigh-up. The Next Sale is September 15, Yearling and Spring Calf Special; 300 Yearlings and 600 Spring Calves are on the books with more expected by Sale Day. Happy Labor Day! Many Thanks to all the Hard working Americans today as well as those who have gone before us!
