As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low receipts, therefore no market comparison may be made. Very Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market throughout the sale. Much of the offering was home raised, off grass, and carrying light to moderate flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Special is August 11, Expecting 1,000 to 1,500 Head.
