As filed

The last reported Feeder Cattle Sale was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for a couple load lots and many packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Replacement Heifers which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Much of the Offering was home raised and carried Light to Moderate Flesh. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is May 24.
