   The Vermont Beef Producers Association held their annual spring graded 
feeder cattle sale on Saturday May 4th, in Essex Junction. Feeder cattle sold 
with a firm undertone. A good buyer attendance combined with early spring 
weather promoted good demand for the sale. All cattle were pre-vaccinated and 
weaned prior to the sale. Cattle were graded and weighed a day prior to the 
sale and sold by the cwt, on their in-weights.
