Compared to two weeks ago: Not many light feeders today trend not applicable. Steers 950-1000 lbs. sold 8.00 higher, steers 1000-1150 lbs. sold 4.00-6.00 lower. Mostly steers today so trend for heifers not applicable, a slightly lower undertone was noted. A few load lots in steers today. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be July 23rd, expecting 1500 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.
