As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on all classes for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was mostly attractive with a quite few nice packages high quality replacement cattle on offer. Scattered rain storms were once again reported across the majority of the Panhandle causing continued muddy conditions and flash flooding.
