As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady, but the plainer calves a little higher. Slaughter cattle steady but had a few high yield cows that brought really good. Sold a load of heifers mostly black hided 67 head average weight 756 brought $ 2.19 that is $1,655.64 per head or $110,927.88 pretty good ticket.
