As filed

Too light an offering last week for good comparisons and an accurate price trend, higher undertones noted on steers over 900 lbs. Good to very good demand for a large offering of yearlings today. A few packages in this sale but the majority of the cattle sold in strings and loads with the feature consignment being 1275 black heifers off grass from one family operation. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate with almost all of the cattle coming off grass. Mostly attractive quality throughout the sale. An active market with the usual crowd of buyers and then some. Buyers are still interested in procuring multiple loads of cattle to fill pens quite often despite the recent uncertainty in the futures board. Crop and grass conditions in the area look very good, silage harvest will start soon. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 11.
