Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low Receipts, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for several Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. Nearly the entire Offering was off Grass and carried light to moderate flesh with a favorable weigh-up. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is September 27.
