As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers stayed steady in a narrow comparison from last week. The demand was good this week with 2 large consignments, offering truck loads of cattle that had an appreciative weighing condition. The market activity was overall active with green and an attractive stretch of the majority of calves. Next sale is Sept. 27, 2019.
