As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers traded with a lower undertone on limited comparisons. Heifer calves sold steady, with a higher undertone on yearling heifers over 700 lbs. A light supply of feeders as most area farmers are in the fields with harvest in full swing. The highlight of the sale was a couple of reputation strings of yearling heifers which sold with a very good demand.
