As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Very Good Demand for Several Load Lots and Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. There were several new buyers in attendance and nearly all buyers got something bought. The entire Offering was Home Raised and carried Light to Moderate Flesh, with the vast majority suitable for grass. Much of the area has experienced unseasonably warm, dry weather and the cattle were clean and open haired with a very attractive presentation. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is April 16.
