Really nice weaned and vaccinated sale this week. This sale was rescheduled from earlier in the month, due to the weather. Since this is a special weaned and vaccinated sale, there are really no comparables. The overall market did seem to have a higher tone compared to 3 weeks ago. The receipts were moderate with good demand. I think demand is there due to the moisture we are receiving and this is when a lot of buyers start purchasing their grass cattle for the summer. I think maybe we have some optimism for the summer grazing.
