There were not enough numbers of feeders to make a comparison this week. Today's sale consisted of yearlings and spring calves. There was good demand by the buyers to obtain these feeders this week.Several nice strings of yearlings and spring calves in today's offering. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. Expecting a larger numbers of calves in next weeks sale.
