Due to low numbers of feeders today no comparison can be made. Overall most weight were lower than last week on a weak test. Today's sale consisted of a few load lots of heavier steers and small bunches of spring calves. Not real good quality of lower weight calves in today's offering. Very few spring calves with shots. Most came in right off the cow, It appears to be near the end of yearlings coming to market this fall. More calves expected next week. Buyer demand only moderate for today's offering.
