FEEDER CATTLE 3319 0 3766
Compared to feeder sale two weeks ago, steers were mixed with 500-600 lbs.
11.00-15.00 lower and 600-700 lbs. bringing 6.00-7.00 higher. Heifers were too
lightly tested with a lower undertone noticed throughout the sale. Demand was
good on cattle with multiple rounds of Spring and Fall shots. Quality was
attractive and uniform throughout a majority of the sale giving the buyers
plenty of solid options for disposition and condition. Extreme wind gusts
reported in the area but did not hamper the active bidding of the larger loads
on offer.
