As filed

Compared to last week: Warmer and drier weather brought some larger, good quality sets of cattle to town. But, compared to a short turn out last week, there were few comparable sales. Sentiment remains high though, as demand and trade was active. Even the price spread on #2's seems to be creeping closer to the #1's. Slaughter cattle continue to move upward with better quality average and high yielding boner cows up 7.00. Warmer temperatures are going to persist as we head into the first days of summer, but it looks like rain chances might come back and cooler temps heading into July. Next week will be the last sale before July 4th, there will be no sale on July 3rd.
