As filed

First reported sale in the three weeks since the big Birthday Sale so an accurate price trend cannot be established. Good to very good demand for today's offering consisting mostly of loads and strings including several loads which could be put on grass and several loads of replacement quality heifers. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus, some heavy flesh seen at times. Quality mostly attractive today. An active market with recent gains in live and feeder cattle futures lending support to the market today. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
