As filed

Compared to last week: Very few steers again this week, trend not applicable. A steady to lower undertone was noted on steers. Heifers 750-850 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower, heifers 850-1000 lbs. were 5.00-7.00 lower. Demand was good with many load lots in todays offering. Next week yearling sell first followed by spring calves. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 30th, starting at 9:30 am. expecting 3000 head of feeders.
