The next Feeder Cattle Sale will be held on 1-8-2021, at 6:00pm

Due to lack of reporter availability, last months feeder sale was not covered, and no price trend will be available for this sale. Compared to two months ago, Feeder Steers and Heifers sold firm, with good demand for cattle under 600lbs. Dairy Steers and Dairy Heifers sold firm in a narrow comparison. Feeder Bulls sold steady to firm on light demand. Over all demand and buyer attendance for todays sale was moderate, with heavy receipts.
