Expecting 1000 plus feeders today but due to last minute cancellations due to storm conditions overnight there were fewer feeders in the offering today. No comparisons for feeders today compared to last week due to low numbers today. The feeders in today's offering were a few of nice strings and buyer demand was good for all classes.
