As filed

First reported sale in several weeks a market comparison is not applicable. Demand was mostly good for all offerings at the annual BBQ sale. Hot, humid day kept a few of the normal buyers at home. Several packages if bawling and weaned calves coming off short grass on hand. With the bulk of the yearling cattle coming out of backgrounding lots.
