As filed

Last feeder cattle sale was three weeks ago so an accurate price trend can not be establish, higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Good to very good demand for this offering of many packages and a handful of loads. Several consignments of replacement quality heifers included in the offering and met with very good demand. Mostly light to moderate plus flesh condition today with some of the cattle showing a little fill. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. An active market seen for this offering. Winter is just hanging around this area with snow and wind again yesterday and chances of snow next week as well. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
