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 load lots and many part loads and packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on an Active Market. This sale displayed the first test of Spring Born Calves and they were well received. All spring calves were home raised, were straight off the cow, and nearly all had spring and fall vaccinations. Weighing conditions were favorable on these clean, open haired, attractive cattle. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is October 17, expecting 6,000 Head.
