First reported sale in 4 weeks, no recent price comparison available. Very good demand for this nice offering of long time weaned steers and heifers. Many long strings of high quality cattle, the market was very active whether it was for lightweight cattle suitable for summer grazing or heavier weight cattle bound for feedyards. The flesh condition of the lightweight cattle was very attractive, the heavier weight cattle were in a moderate plus flesh condition. Warmer weather this week, after last week's sub zero weather made for good conditions for cattle producers to get their stock shipped to town.
