As filed

A moderate supply of Feeder Cattle sold mostly firm with good demand for lighter calves to be turned out on grass. A higher quality of Heifers encouraged buyers to be more active at the second of the three feeder sales at Accident Livestock Auction. Feeders Steers 400-750 lbs traded 10.00-15.00 higher. Feeder Heifers 400-700 lbs were 10.00-15.00 higher and 700-800 lbs were mostly 5.00 higher. Next Feeder Cattle sale is May 11th 2024.
