As filed

No recent sale for a price comparison. Several pot load lots of backgrounded cattle were available as well as some larger strings of home raised calves that fit together pretty well. A few fall herd dispersals were on offer, mostly 5 to 8 year old cows that will calve in September and October. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.
