As filed

The last Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparisons may be made. Good Demand for a few Loads and Moderate Demand for Many, Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market. Much of the Offering was out of a Lot and carried Moderate to Moderate Plus Flesh. This is the Final Feeder Cattle Special of the Season. The Next Scheduled Feeder Cattle Sale is the Annual Anniversary BBQ Sale July 28th.
