As filed

Compared to last week: A lower undertone was noted on feeder steers. Feeder heifers 700-750 lbs. sold 4.00 lower, the rest of the heifers sold on an unevenly steady undertone. Some load lots in todays offering. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 3rd, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.
