First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this light offering of many packages and a couple loads. Quite a few cattle suitable for grass programs or backgrounding, these cattle continue to see the best demand, especially those sold in loads. Quality varied quite a bit, especially in packages. Flesh mostly moderate to moderate plus except for one consignment of finishing type cattle in heavy flesh. Cattle are clean as the weather has been mostly dry, the area received less snow this past week than expected. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
