As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 850 lbs. and up sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 600-800 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 higher, heifers 800-850 lbs. sold 1.00 lower, a steady to lower undertone was noted on heifers over 850 lbs. Demand was good with many load lots in todays offering. Many feeders are coming to town off grass early due to a lack of rain in the area. The next feeder cattle auction will be Aug. 19th, expecting 2000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
