As filed

Compared to last week: best test on steers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Heifers not well compared again his week. Good to very good demand for yearlings, many of which sold in strings and loads. Most of the cattle came off grass, just a handful of lot cattle, and flesh ranged from light to some moderate plus. Quality varied today, especially on packages. Some mud on the cattle today due to rain the last few days, but they still had plenty of eye appeal. An active market with buyers taking multiple loads quite often, however, slightly less determination than seen in recent weeks. A positive day for live and feeder cattle today, however, the up and down of the last couple weeks has put some pressure on the market. Sunny conditions expected next week, quite a bit of rain has fallen in this area the last three days. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, September 26.
