As filed

The last reported Feeder Sale was 4 weeks ago therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. The Supply consisted of mostly attractive cattle off grass with favorable weighing conditions. No Sale next week, Happy Labor Day! Next Feeder Cattle Sale September 10, Expecting 1,000 Head.
