Several consignments offered buyers the chance to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle, up to eleven loads in one sort. Loads and packages of tested open heifers were met with good demand. An active market with mostly order buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers. Cattle coming off grass were more in demand then the cattle coming out of grow yards. Flesh ranged from light fleshed fall calves that were coming off grass to moderate fleshed yearlings coming from a grow yard. Much of the area has received some rain in the past two weeks, but warmer and drier conditions are forecasted for the next week.
