This is the first reported sale of the season therefore no comparisons may be made. Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market. Very diverse offering of quality and type ranging from off Grass to out of the Feedyards including very attractive cattle and plainer offerings. Next Feeder Cattle Sale August 13, Expecting a big run of Yearlings.
