*This report is for today's board sale cattle. For today's in-barn sale please see Buckhannon Stockyards--Graded Special report. *

Practically similar head run to last month's board sale. Above average attendance with somewhat slow trade starting out despite the strength in the market. Buyer interest actively pursuing the heavier end of the run with the 7 and 8 weights seeing higher gains than in the lighter breaks. Feeder Steers $14.75 up to $28 per cwt higher; Heifers $15 to $23 higher.
