As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: limited comparisons on the steers with higher undertones; for the heifers only comparisons made were on the 800 lbs - 949 lbs would be 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Nice offering of mostly yearlings off grass, a few consignments of fall calves. The majority of todays offering were tested open replacement heifer and yearling steers off grass. Several long strings of reputation cattle offered buyers the opportunity to purchase multiple loads of one owner cattle in the same sort. A very active market with mostly order buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers. Extremely warm temperatures today had the cattle in condition to favor the buyer. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed cattle off grass to moderate plus cattle coming out of a grow yard. Hot, dry weather is forecasted for the area this next week. The next feeder auction will be in two weeks, September 15, 2023
