Good Demand in the seats and on the internet for Several Long Strings and Many Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on an Active Market. Nearly the entire Offering came off grass and straight off the cow and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. All the Spring Calves were fully vaccinated with shots both Spring and Fall. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is November 18.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.75, low $386.56, median $462.48 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
