As filed

No comparison is available as this is the first reported sale since May. Trade activity was active and demand was moderate to good. Today's run consisted of mostly yearling cattle coming off grass due to drought conditions, with a few light weight feeder calves mostly coming straight off the cows. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
