No Feeder Cattle Sales the last two weeks, comparisons made from three weeks ago. Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers 750 to 1,000 Steady. Very Good Demand for Several Load Lots and Many Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market throughout the sale. Nearly all of the Offering was off grass and in Light to Moderate Flesh Conditions. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is September 29, Yearling and Spring Calf Special, Expecting 2,000 Head.
