Compared to last week: steers 850 to 899 lbs and 950 to 999 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, 1000 to 1049 lbs steady. Heifers 900 to 999 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good to very good demand for yearlings again this week. The majority of the offering came right off grass and included quite a few strings and many loads. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate. A few consignments of cattle out of yards, quality and flesh condition made buyers more reserved bidders on these. An active market but slightly less enthusiasm than seen in recent weeks. Lower feeder and live cattle markets again today putting some pressure on the market. Rain forecasted for the rest of the week, silage harvest is in progress. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 24.
