Compared to last week Feeder Steers under 850 lbs not well compared, 850 to 1000 lbs Steady to 2.00 higher, Feeder Heifers under 750 lbs not well compared, 750 to 800 lbs 2.00 higher, 800 to 950 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 lower, 950 to 1050 lbs Steady. Very Good Demand for Several Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on an Active Market for the Yearling Cattle and a Moderate Market which gained momentum as the sale progressed for the Season's first offering of Spring Calves. The Supply consisted of very attractive cattle, off grass with favorable weighing conditions. Next Feeder Cattle Sale October 8, Expecting 5,000 Head.
