As filed

First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for a handful of loads and part loads of steers and heifers, many of these Bangs vaccinated, included in today's offering. Moderate to good demand for packages depending on quality, this varied from plain to attractive. Many producers are clearing leftover stock from pens to prepare for calving. Flesh mostly light to moderate plus today. An active market with both order buyers and a few farmer feeders in the seats. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
