As filed

No market trend as this is the first sale reported at the Mid Missouri Stockyards by MDA/USDA Market News Service. The feeder cattle supply was moderate with a few groups of quality wean - vac cattle and yearlings included in the offering. Demand was good for all classes with many active bidders and buyers in the market.
