Compared to last week: different weight classes of steers and heifers than last week with best on steers 950 to 1000 lbs steady to 2.00 lower and heifers not well compared. Demand for yearlings remains good to very good with best demand seen for those off grass. Quality varied today, from plain to attractive. Many packages of tested opens again this week. Flesh mostly light to moderate plus. A couple consignments of spring calves this week met with moderate demand. Calves had shots and one consignment was weaned. An active market for yearlings, moderate for calves with mostly farmer feeders interested in these again this week. Bean harvest is getting started in this area and some corn has been harvested as well. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 29.
