No feeder sale last week a trend will not be given. The offering consisted of around 55 percent yearlings and weaned calves with the balance on bawling calves with about 25 percent not having fall vaccinations the majority of which sold at a discount. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd with internet activity noticed.
