Compared to last week: Due to light numbers of cattle in all weight classes to compare to last week is very difficult. An unevenly steady undertone was noted. Fair amount of load lots in todays offering. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be Aug. 13th, starting at 10:00 am. Expecting 2000 head of feeders.
