As filed

Slightly higher run than last reported for the final graded special this season. Demand steady to slightly higher by $1.00 - $3.50 for four weight #1 Steers while demand significantly lowering over five to six weights. Note an opposite trend in Heifers as demand for four weight lowered significantly while five and six weights sold $1.00-$9.00 higher. Eastern WV counties experiencing adequate to higher than average rain and higher than average temperatures, ample pasture reported. Majority of corn has been chopped in the Greenbrier/Pocahontas area.
