As filed

First reported sale this summer so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this large offering of yearlings selling in strings, loads, and packages, including many packages of tested open heifers, all coming off grass. Flesh mostly light to moderate with some fill seen on the cattle at times. Quality mostly average to attractive today. An active market with many buyers in the seats. Another warm and humid day today with this type of weather making haying and harvesting difficult, wheat harvest has been slow. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
