As filed

Compared to last week: Steers this week are still unevenly steady. The feeder heifers under 500lbs are steady, and over 500lbs is unevenly steady. The cattle are still coming straight off grass with great flesh. New crop calves coming straight off grass have good flesh as well and numbers of feeder coming in are getting bigger. The market was very active today. Next sale is October 19th.
