As filed

First reported sale in three weeks so no price trend can be established. Good to very good demand for a large offering of yearlings today. Several strings plus loads and many packages made up the offering, all coming right off grass. Many packages and loads of tested open heifers as producers complete fall PG work. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate with some moderate plus, some fill on the cattle at times. Quality mostly attractive today. An active market with a good crowd of buyers and consignors in the seats. Quite a few opportunities to fill pens with multiple loads of one man's cattle which buyers took advantage of. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 3 which will feature the first calves of the season.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
