Yarding 4030 Change +180

It was a mixed yarding with some good runs of well finished heavy weight steers, heifers, and cows.

There were also fair numbers of yearlings to suit the feeders and processors along with larger numbers of secondary yearlings lacking quality and finish.

Most of the usual buyers were in attendance and operating with the exception of a major feeder operator.
