This report covers today's Board Sale results. In-barn Feeder Sale can be found under Buckhannon Special Sale report.

Larger run by over 1,000 head compared to last month's board sale. Some lots from multiple sources but many made up of single source cattle, all represented with a guaranteed health program. Majority graded M/L 1. Above average rainfall and more than adequate grazing reported for this Summer. Video available on all lots offered.

High buyer attendance both in barn and over the telephone. Good demand pushing active trade with Steers higher by $9-$15.50 per cwt, Heifers $22 per cwt higher on the heavy end of the run.
