ANNUAL CUSTOMER APPRECIATION BBQ SPECIAL FEEDER AUCTION. No comparison stated today as the previous feeder calf auction was in July. Available today were many load lots of home-raised, LTW'd, green, yearling cattle many of which were triple vaccinated. Also offered were consignments of reputation new crop calves. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply. Trade was active.
