As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Many Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active Market. Nearly all of the Offering was Home Raised, Fully Vaccinated, Weaned for at least 60 Days, and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is February 23 and includes Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and the Deep Creek Angus Bull Sale featuring many Fancy Bangs Vaccinated Replacement Heifers, Expecting 4,000 Head.
