Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low Supply, 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 Very Strong, Active Market throughout the sale on all classes of Feeder Cattle. Much of the Supply was Home Raised, off grass, and very attractive, carrying Light to Moderate Flesh. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is August 10, Expecting 2,000 head.
