As filed

Today marked the inaugural Cattle Drive Video Market's Off Grass Yearling Special hosted in Salina UT. The bulk of the feeder cattle were located in the North Central region, weaned steers and heifers coming with multiple rounds of vaccinations with the balance coming out of the West region. The sale ended with a few supplemental lots of slaughter cows out of UT and ID.

Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.
