As filed

Lolli Livestock held a special feeder sale with the bulk of the receipts being 9 pot loads of yearling heifers weighing from 685-806 lbs with no recent comparisons as the last sale was a month ago. The market did not quit reach the highs of the last auction as feeder prices have retreated since then, but a couple of pot loads of 700-710 lb heifers did come within 3.00 of the top prices paid a month ago. With the stick out sales being two pot loads of 700 and 706 lb heifers at 376.75; pot load heifers 710 lbs at 373.00, and a pot load of 730 lb heifers at 370.00. Demand was very good on the pot loads of top quality heifers with all other weights of feeders lightly tested. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold steady.
