First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. A large offering today featuring many packages and a handful of loads of fall calves, as well as loads and packages of home raised and backgrounded yearlings, including a string of backgrounded steers. Good to very good demand for this offering with a couple loads of grass type steers seeing excellent demand. Flesh varied, from light to some heavy flesh at times. Varied quality as well, especially on packages, from plain to attractive. Some cattle showed tag today as yard conditions have gotten tough with the recent moisture, snow or rain depending where you are, with more moisture forecasted for the weekend. An active market with many buyers and some farmer feeders in the seats today. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
