As filed

Lighter run than last year for the first Graded Feeder special by 250 head, moderate attendance in barn but very active trade. Following yesterday's softer board Feeders sold somewhat lower with the heavier end of the run declining sharper than the 400 weights. 5 to 6 weight Steers $15 per cwt lower, same weight Heifers $15-$20 per cwt lower. It is worth taking note of the much greater percentage of #1 muscled Calves compared to #2 shoulder Calves resulting from a wetter than average grazing season and ample pasture. However, recent dryer conditions persist in N. Central West Virginia; some producers hauling water to cattle and a declining outlook on fall pasture availability.
