As filed

Feeder sale moved to Saturday due to the weather. Lots of cancellations and postponements on feeder cattle consignments due to the sever cold in the area this past week. No comparisons made due to limited numbers. An active market with strong demand for feeder cattle. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed hay cattle to moderate fleshed backgrounded cattle. Next feeder sale well be March 3, 2023.
