Good Demand for Several Strings, Several Load Lots, and Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Calves suitable for grass continue to find strong demand. Much of the Offering consisted of Home Raised Calves that have been weaned for 60+ days with multiple rounds of vaccinations and a favorable weigh-up. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is February 28.
