As filed

First reported sale in several weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Moderate to good demand for today's offering of loads and packages, including several packages of weaned fall calves, and several loads of replacement quality heifers from reputation outfits. Quality varied, with packages being more plain to average in quality and loads average to attractive. Most cattle in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. A moderate to active market with both order buyers and a few producers in the seats, producers being most interested in replacements. The weather has been very favorable and quite a bit of field work has started. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
