Feeder Sale August 11, 2017

Market report from the Regular Sumner Feeder Cattle Sale Friday August 11th..
Here this past Friday we had a lighter run of cattle selling 1,138 cattle on a market that was lower pretty much all the way around due in part to a very rough week on the cattle futures, a lower fed cattle market and a sale that consisted mainly of small packages of cattle versus the prior 2 sales which had many large strings. So the market comparison is a little tougher to quote and the range is more wide than usual due to the group sizes but it was defintely lower in light of all considering.... The demand remains very good though in the cattle of quality properly handled and especially the bigger drafts.. 
 
The next Regular  Summer Feeder Cattle Sale will be in two weeks Friday August 25th selling both HolsteinSteers and Beef Cattle.. 
 
Thanks as always to all Buyers/Sellers alike!!
