As filed

Sale not recently reported therefore no market comparison may be made. Very Good Demand for several strings, load lots, and packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers consisting of both Yearlings and Spring Calves which all sold on a Very Strong, Active Market. Nearly the entire offering consisted of Home Raised Cattle that had Spring and Fall Vaccinations and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is October 11, Spring Calf Special, expecting 5,500 head.
