Compared to last week Feeder Steers 400 to 500 Steady to 4.00 higher, 500 to 650 2.00 to 5.00 higher over 700 Steady, Feeder Heifers under 400 5.00 higher, 400 to 450 Steady, 450 to 500 4.00 lower, 500 to 600 4.00 higher, 600 to 650 4.00 lower. Very Good Demand for several Strings and many Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on a Strong, Active Market. The entire Offering was Home Raised, most of which carried Light to Moderate Flesh and had Spring and Fall vaccinations. The Offering was very attractive with clean, open haired calves and no tag. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is October 18, Spring Calf Special, expecting 8,500 Head.
