Compared to last week: Steers 950lbs. on up sold unevenly steady. Heavy heifers sold on a lower undertone . Demand was good. Heavy feeders were from large lots. Very few light feeders. Some feeders were caring some mud. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct. 1st, expecting 1500 plus, starting at 10:00 am.
