As filed

No Feeder Cattle Sale last week, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers under 800 lbs not well tested, 800 to 900 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 900 to 1100 lbs 6.00 to 8.00 higher, Feeder Heifers 750 to 950 lbs 6.00 to 8.00 higher, 950 to 1100 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Very Good Demand for Several Long String, Load Lots, and Many Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on an Active Market. Much of the Supply was very attractive cattle off Grass and carried favorable weighing conditions. Next Feeder Cattle Sale: October 1, Expecting 1,000 Yearlings and 2,000 Spring Calves.
