Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not reported in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for today's offering featuring a couple of strings and a handful of packages, quite a few of these were fall calves. Flesh varied but mostly light to moderate plus. Quality mostly average to attractive. An active market with lots of optimism in the market right now. Grass and crop conditions are looking great in this part of the country, the rains have been timely and temps not overly hot. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
