Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 850 lbs and 951 to 1050 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher, 901 to 950 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Heifers too lightly tested today for comparison. Good to very good demand seen for this yearling offering featuring mostly loads and strings of steers. Cattle both off grass and out of yards today so flesh varied, from light to moderate plus. Quality similar to last week, mostly average to attractive. An active market with many buyers in attendance today. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, September 25.
