Today was the Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Special at Lamoni. No comparison stated today as the previous feeder auction was more than 3 weeks ago. Available today were many load lots of yearling steers. Four consignors brought nearly 750 head of reputation cattle. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply and included internet bidders. Trade was active.
