Compared to last Wednesday Feeder Steers under 500 Steady, 500 to 700 Steady to 2.00 higher, Feeder Heifers under 400 3.00 higher, 400 to 450 Steady, 450 to 500 2.00 higher, 550 to 600 3.00 lower. Good Demand for Several Load Lots and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which sold on an Active to Very Active Market. The entire Offering was Home Raised and carried light to moderate flesh. Many of the calves only had Spring Vaccinations as well as showed some mud and tag from the muddy shipping conditions creating broadening price ranges. The next Feeder Cattle Sale is Friday, October 29, Expecting 500 Yearlings and 8,000 Spring Calves.
