As filed

First reported feeder cattle market in a couple of weeks a market trend not applicable. Today's auction was held do to the bomb cyclone that blew through the area on Wednesday and Thursday last week. Demand was good with a large crowd of buyers on the seats. Several lots of cattle sold over the internet and some loads going out of state.
