As filed

No trend as this was the first Feeder Special of 2024. A nice smaller offering with a very active market. All classes of feeders selling with higher undertones throughout the day. A very active internet and active bidding coming from the seats. Nice weather in the area with great pen conditions. Sale again next Wednesday.
