As filed

This is the first reported feeder sale of the fall so no comparisons will be made this week. Todays feeders consisted of mostly yearling heifers and calves right off the cow. The dry weather conditions in this part of the state are forcing ranchers to send large numbers of cows to market and their calves which would normally be kept until later in the year to market.
