Good Demand for Several Long Strings, Load Lots, and Many Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Nearly all of the Supply was home raised, fully vaccinated, straight off the cow, and carried light to moderate flesh. November 24 is a Bred Cow Sale, the Next Feeder Cattle Sale is December 1, Weaned Calf Special, Expecting 4,000 Head. Thank you much to all of the Veterans for all you and your families have sacrificed!
