As filed

First reported feeder cattle auction in several weeks, no recent price comparison available. Good demand for this nice offering of very attractive, high quality, strings of yearling steers and heifers. Flesh condition was attractive, light to moderate as most cattle were straight off grass. Plenty of buyers on the seats actively bidding as they are eager to place yearling feeder cattle in their yards. Next feeder cattle sale will be Friday Sept 13, 2019.
