As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were steady. The Saluda County Cattlemen's Association Preconditioned Steer and Heifer Load Lot Sale preceded the regular sale today. There were heavy offerings of plain to good quality cattle with active buyer participation. Light demand for cattle with excessive hair.
