As filed

Todays receipts consisted of yearlings and spring calves. The market was higher today than last week. The numbers were not there for a good comparison from last week. The yearlings were coming off grass. There were many good guality strings of spring calves in todays sale. Those calves with spring and fall shots brought a premium today. The wet conditions in the country are slowing the fall run of calves to market this year. expecting 2000 calves next week.
