As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low supply, therefore no comparisons may be made. Very Good Demand for Several strings, load lots, and packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which all sold on a Strong, Active Market. Nearly the entire Offering came off grass and carried light to moderate flesh. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is August 9.
