Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not recently reported due to seasonally low receipts, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for a long string, several load lots, and many packages of Feeder Steers, Feeder Heifers, and Tested Open Heifers which all sold on a Moderate to Active Market. The vast majority of the Supply were yearlings off grass, carrying Light Flesh with an attractive presentation. There was also a package of Spring Calves in the Offering. With the recent large swings in the futures many local cow/calf producers are anxious to see how the market handles the upcoming Fall Run. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is September 24.
