As filed

Second Special Feeder sale for the season, very slight increase in numbers for the run today. Much of the offering heavy muscled, fresh Feeders. Compared to last, Steers $2-$4 higher per cwt on average while demand for 5 weights pushed up by $25 per cwt. Heifer demand stronger today increasing by $15-$22 per cwt across the board. No market test on Bulls.
