Compared to last week Feeder Steers 400 to 450 20.00 to 30.00 higher, 450 to 600 10.00 to 15.00 higher, 600 to 650 5.00 to 10.00 higher, Feeder Heifers 450 to 650 10.00 to 20.00 higher, 900 to 1000 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Very Good Demand in the seats and on the Internet for Several Long Strings, Many Load Lots, and Many Part Loads and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which all sold on a Very Active Market that gained Strength throughout the Sale. Nearly the entire Offering came off grass and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. The presentation was very attractive with clean, open haired cattle with no tagg and a favorable weighup; nearly all the Spring Calves were fully vaccinated with both Spring and Fall shots. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is October 21, expecting 5,500 head.
