As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was 3 weeks ago, so a market comparison can not be made. However, both steer and heifer calves were trending higher. Demand was very good for this nice offering of mostly weaned and vaccinated calves that sold on an active market. Favorable weather in the area has created some optimism in the markets.
