Compared to last week: Steers 800-850 lbs. were 3.00 higher, lower undertone was noted on the rest of the steers. A lower undertone was noted on feeder heifers. A few load lots in todays offering. Demand was fair. Starting to get a few spring calves in now. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 10th, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.
