As filed

No trend as this was the first Wednesday Feeder special of the fall run. A nice offering today with several load lots of steers and heifers coming of grass. Majority of the cattle being thin fleshed from extreme dry conditions. Also a small offering of bawling calves today with a very active market from the internet and from the seats. All weights listed under 600 lbs were bawling calves. Sale again next Wednesday.
