As filed

Sale not recently reported, therefore no market comparison may be made. Very Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and Many Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. All the Yearlings were off grass and carried Light to Moderate Flesh with no tagg and a favorable weigh-up. This sale was the first real test of the season for Spring Calves coming straight off the cow. There were several sets of high quality calves with quite a few buyers getting in on the action. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is October 15, Expecting 8,000 head, consisting nearly entirely of Spring Calves.
