As filed

Compared to last week: steers 950 to 1099 lbs 9.00 to 12.00 higher. Best test on heifers 950 to 999 lbs 9.00 to 11.00 higher. Another nice yearling offering this week with cattle coming both off grass and out of yards. Good to very good demand for yearlings with cattle off grass seeing the best demand. Most yearlings sold in strings and loads, packages were tested open heifers. Some heavy flesh seen on the yard cattle, cattle off grass in light to moderate flesh. A few consignments of spring calves offered and met with mostly good demand. Quality on calves average to attractive, flesh was light and all were off the cow. Shot records varied and those without all their shots sold on the bottom of the price spectrum. Some calves in town this early because grass has run out. An active market seen for this offering. A little more positivity in the industry than seen last week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 16.
