Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low supply, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for several long strings, load lots, and packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Replacement Heifers which sold on an active market. Nearly the entire Supply was off grass and carried light to moderate flesh with favorable weighing conditions. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is September 26.
