As filed

Compared to last week there were not enough steers for a comparison but all weights were lower this week. Feeder heifers 550 to 600 lbs. were 14.00 lower and 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 lower. Other weights did not have numbers for comparison but were lower this week. Todays offering consisted of small bunches of light to medium fleshed feeders. Demand was moderate for todays offering. It appears that the run of feeders is done for the time being but if draught continues in the area and if numbers of feeders coming to market increases we will be reporting again before fall.
