Annual Customer Appreciation BBQ Feeder Cattle Auction - - - No comparison stated today given a much smaller offering 2 weeks ago. However, available today were many load lots of quality, green, off grass yearling steers and heifers. Also, several strings of reputation, off the cow, home raised, vaccinated feeder steers and heifers. Supply today was heavy. Demand was very good. Trade was active.
