As filed

The last Feeder Cattle sale was months ago, therefor no market comparison can be made. Good demand for several long strings and many partial loads and packages of feeder steers and heifers and tested open replacement heifers which sold on a strong ,active market. Flesh condition varied from light to moderate. Next sale is scheduled for September 10, 2020.
