No Feeder Cattle Sale last week, comparisons made to two weeks ago. Feeder Steers 500 to 550 10.00 higher other classes of Feeder Steers not well compared; Feeder Heifers 900 to 950 10.00 to 12.00 higher, 950 to 1000 8.00 to 10.00 higher, 1000 to 1050 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Moderate Demand for several Strings of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers, a few load lots, part Loads and packages of Spring Calves and Many Packages of Tested Open Heifers which all sold on a Moderate Market. Presentation varied from clean, attractive cattle with a favorable weigh-up to several offerings carrying some flesh and fill. Much of the Offering was off grass, several Offerings were out of the lot, and nearly everything was fully vaccinated. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is September 22, with 200 Yearlings and 600 Spring Calves on the books with more expected by Sale Day.
