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. Much of the Offering was weaned for at least 45 days with Spring and Fall vaccinations. This was the final Feeder Cattle Sale of 2021, the Next Feeder Cattle Sale is January 11. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
