Compared to last week: best test on steers 900 to 999 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers not well compared. A large offering of yearlings today. Cattle out of yards met with good to very good demand depending on flesh condition, grass cattle saw very good demand. Many attractive cattle to choose from, most selling in strings and loads. Some heavy flesh seen on cattle out of yards. Many packages and a few loads of tested open heifers offered again this week as producers continue their fall pregnancy testing. An active market seen for this offering with buyers taking multiple loads of same weight cattle to fill pens when offered. Cooler, wet weather has persisted since the end of last week and this type of weather is in the forecast for the rest of this week. Most harvest and field work has stopped until things dry out. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 30.
