As filed

The last reported feeder sale was three weeks ago with limited numbers of feeders so no comparison will be made to todays receipts. Buyers still actively bidding especially the light weight feeders to be put on pasture this summer. Todays offering consisted of a couple of load lots and many small consignments. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
