As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers maintained unevenly steady except for the 700 - 750 pounds that were higher by 3.00. Feeder heifers were too narrow to compare under 800 pounds. Between 800 - 950 pounds the price trend was higher by 2.00. Flesh conditions of the yearlings offered today averaged many attractive moderate to moderate plus conditions with the exception of some green strings. The abundance of buyer interest created an active market with offerings being absorbed rapidly for today's sale. Next sale is Sept 11, 2020.
