As filed

There have been no recent comparable sales for a trend, but feeders sold with a higher undertone on very good demand. A heavy supply of yearlings coming off grass was offered with several home-raised and a sale highlight was 7 straight loads of 700-800 lb steers. The quality and condition of the cattle was very good and sold in front of a full house of active buyers. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
