As filed

Sale not reported in recent weeks so an accurate trend can not be established. Good demand for today's yearling offering featuring a handful of loads, all steers, and several packages, mostly tested open heifers, which sold on a moderate to active market. Yearlings came both off grass and out of yards in varied flesh. Quality mostly average to attractive. Rain the last few weeks have greatly improved grass conditions in the area and have enabled producers to leave cattle on grass longer than expected. Bean and corn harvest is just starting. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
