The last large numbered auction was weeks ago, so trend not applicable . The undertone on all class's was higher today. There was much optimism as cattle were in high demand today. There were many large load lots in today's offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be in "TWO" weeks, July 25th expecting 2000 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.
