As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low supply, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Many Long Strings, Load Lots, and Packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and tested Open Heifers. High quality, attractive offerings sold on a very strong, active market while lighter muscled offerings sold on a moderate market. The supply was a mix of cattle off grass and out of grow yards and carried light to moderate flesh with mostly favorable weighing conditions. The Next Feeder Cattle Sale is August 8.
