As filed

Compared to the last feeder sale two weeks ago feeder steers 700 to 750 lbs. and 800 to 850 lbs. were 9.00 higher. No comparison for heifers this week due to low numbers two weeks ago. Very active bidding by buyers today as many feel that we are near the end of the fall run of calves. Most demand was for calves to put on pasture this summer. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition today.
