As filed

No comparison stated today as the previous feeder calf / yearling auction was in June. Available today were load lots of quality yearling cattle. Demand today was very good for the green, home-raised, quality steers and heifers. Today's offering was moderate to light. Internet bidding active throughout the auction. The next feeder cattle auction is July 31.
