As filed

The last Feeder Cattle sale was 3 weeks ago therefore no comparison may be made. Good Demand for many load lots and several packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on a Very Strong Market. Nearly the entire Offering was Home Raised, very attractive, unweaned, had Spring and Fall vaccinations, and carried light to moderate flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is December 7, Weaned Calf Special, Expecting 3,500 Head.
