First reported sale in three weeks a trend is not applicable. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed. Nice offering of yearling feeders and bawling spring calves on offer. Most all the bawling spring calves had received one round of fall vaccinations. The bulk of the yearling feeders were coming out of the grow yards with some coming off the fall grass.
