As filed

Compared to the last feeder sale 2 weeks ago, previous receipt numbers were too light for an adequate price comparison, but feeder cattle traded with a sharply higher undertone. A high quality offering this week with many large groups of long time weaned and vaccinated cattle. The market was very active with many bidders and buyers present. Demand was very good on a heavy supply.
