As filed

No trends as this was a Cow/calf pair, bred heifer and stock cow special sale. Trade active with good demand. Buyer attendance good both ringside and on the internet. The Turnaround Tuesday for cattle flipped the board into the black for the week. Futures rebounded by $1.35 to $1.90 across the front months. Feeders led the way with 1.7% to 2% gains of as much as $4.17. The 12/1 CME Feeder Cattle Index was $223.27, down by another $2.62. Most offerings are sold with a April 15, 2024 cutoff for calving unless otherwise stated.
