As filed

First reported sale in three weeks a trend is not applicable. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the large crowd that was in the seats. The bulk of the offering was yearling steers and heifers selling in load lots with the balance in packages of yearlings and fall calves along with packages of cow/calf pairs mixed in the run.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
