As filed

Compared to the auction from last week, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-20.00 higher, with some light heifer calves 30.00 higher. Customer appreciation day at the barn with door prize drawings along with a free beef brisket lunch for all in attendance. Sale goers were also treated with the chance to hear the 2025 World Auctioneering Champion, Dean Edge, from Alberta Canada, as he handled much of the afternoon sale. Quality was attractive and buyers were aggressive to get their hands on more cattle before the end of the year.
