As filed

Last reported sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be established. A few loads and many packages made up today's yearling offering including many packages of tested open heifers. Loads were met with good to very good demand, moderate to good demand for packages. Almost the entire offering came off grass, flesh mostly light to moderate with some fill on the cattle at times. Quality varied, but mostly average to attractive. A moderate to active market for this offering with most of the normal buyers in the seats. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
