As filed

There was no comparable offering from two weeks ago so no trend will be given. There was a moderate crowd on hand today for strings and packages of feeder calves. Trade was light due to another snow that come through the area the last couple days with demand being moderate to good throughout the sale. Sheridan's next sale will be a special feeder calf and bred cow sale May 8 2019.
