Very Good Demand for several long strings and many many load lots and packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Moderate Market at first then became a Very Active Market midway and throughout the end of the sale. The entire Offering was Home Raised and carried light to Moderate Plus Flesh with a favorable weigh-up and had Spring and Fall vaccinations. Saturday, November 6: Bred Cow Special, expecting 1,000 Head; the Next Feeder Cattle Sale is November 9, Spring Calf Special, expecting 6,000 head.
