As filed

Last sale reported Apr 9, 2021. A comparison will not be made due to the length of time that has passed between reported sales. Feeder cattle was mostly comprised of replacement quality heifers, many complete with bangs vaccinations. Many strings of offerings carried a light flesh condition, bordering on an unpleasing eye appeal. The light offering of replacement heifers this week resulted in an occasional bidding war for gate cuts. Available offerings readily cleared the market and held a very good demand for this sale. Next feeder cattle special has not been advertised for the upcoming sales.
