We had Extremely small sale due to several days with inches and inches of rain and a lot of flooding. Which made the ground very hard to get cattle hauled to sale barn . Several classes only had one yearling in each class. Some good calves and yearlings had multiple buyers biding against each other. Feeder steers sold mixed with some classes 20.00-50.00 higher; Most feeder heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher; Slaughter cows sold weaker to 3.00 lower; Slaughter bull with only one head as high yielding sold 8.00 higher
