As filed

Compared to last week: No trend available as this was the first sale. Demand and trading activity were good, and buyer attendance was very good. The supply was mostly plain to attractive, with several large load lots of cattle on offer. A large number of slaughter cows were also on offer as drought like conditions continue to plague the area.
