The next Feeder Cattle sale will be held on 9/10/2021 @ 6:00p

Buyer attendance for todays sale was moderate, with moderate demand overall on a light to moderate supply of cattle. Todays sale supply was limited due to hot weather conditions throughout the week and leading up to the sale, reducing the total number of cattle brought in to the market.
