Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower; under 800 lbs 3.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers mostly steady, 600-700 lbs 5.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle and buyers more particular for kind. Crossbreds or cattle built for warmer type weather are starting to see a bigger discount as we head into October. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand good for calves following the much needed rains late last week. Quality mostly average.
