Nice offering of cattle today. Some of these were the cattle that did not come last week. Lots of reputation cattle. The cattle today were unweaned with shots for the most part. This was a "special sale," and the market seemed to be back to where it was 2 weeks ago. Demand was good to very good with moderate receipts.
