As filed

First reported feeder cattle sale in recent weeks a market trend is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted. Demand was good with several buyers in the seats. Most lots were light to medium fleshed and were weaned on long stem grass hay and cake. Several groups of bangs vaccinated heifers in the run. Even though some were not commented as replacements many could be slated that way come spring turnout.
