As filed

Compared to the last special feeder auction from three weeks ago, all weights and classes of feeders sold with a very good demand with a nice supply of both calves and yearlings in the offering. Calf prices were steady, and the yearlings traded near steady, with very few comparisons because of the light yearling receipts at previous sales.
