As filed

Last reported sale was three weeks ago a market trend is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted throughout the sale. Demand was good from in house and internet buyers. CME cattle boards traded higher on the day giving a little upward tick to Monday's sale. Plus tight feeder numbers, in a large area also helps.
