Yarding 2826 Change 396

Cattle were drawn from a wide supply area and the quality of the yarding was good. The regular buying panel was present and operating and included feedlots, processors and restockers.

Demand remained firm across most of the steers, while heifers fluctuated and cows improved across the board.
