As filed

Last reported sale two weeks ago with different weight classes than today so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for today's offering of mostly loads and strings which sold on an active market. Flesh of these cattle varied, from light to moderate plus, as they are coming both off grass and out of yards. Quality mostly attractive overall. The area is receiving some rain today and the temperatures this week have been much cooler. Most producers are still worried about getting feed together for the winter and stretching their grass through the summer. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
