Compared to last week Feeder Steers 400 to 550 Steady to 5.00 lower, 550 to 650 Steady, Feeder Heifers 400 to 500 Steady to 5.00 lower, 500 to 600 10.00 higher. Good Demand in the seats and on the Internet for Several Strings and Many Load Lots, Part Loads, and Packages which sold on a Moderate to Active Market. Nearly the entire Offering was Home Raised, had Spring and Fall vaccinations, and came straight off the cow. Presentation was attractive with calves featuring clean, shiny hair with no tagg, mostly Light to Moderate Flesh, and a favorable weigh-up. The Next Sale is October 14: Weigh-up Cow Special; October 20: Special All Breeds Calf & Yearling Sale with 5,000 Spring Calves on the Books.
