First reported sale in several weeks a market comparison is not applicable. Demand was good with several buyers in attendance at the 75 annual customer appreciation sale. Bulk of Thursday's receipts would have been placed on summer grass and sold later in the summer on a video sale but due to the very dry conditions in the area they are being sold to save grass for cow/calf pairs on the ranch.
