As filed

Compared to last Wednesday's sale , best comparison on the 500 lbs to 600 lbs steers would be 4.00 to 6.00 lower, heifers from 450 lbs to 549 lbs were 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Active market and good demand for the fully preconditioned calves in today's offering. Calves were in light flesh condition and straight off the cow. A few weather related cancellations for todays sale as some much needed precipitation has arrived in the area. Next sale will be Friday the 23rd expecting a large run of yearlings and calves.
