As filed

Last reported sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this light offering featuring mostly strings and loads. A few consignments off grass but most cattle came out of yards. Flesh condition mostly moderate to moderate plus, cattle off grass in mostly light flesh condition. An active market for this offering despite quite a bit of pressure on the futures complex this past week. Rainfall has been spotty but many areas saw a nice rain last night. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
