Compared to last week: Feeder heifers between the 750 - 900 weights were 2.00 - 5.00 higher, in all other weights it was too narrow to make a comparison. Feeder steers was too narrow to make a comparison but held a higher undertone. Many attractive, green strings of open heifers, peppered with a handful of spayed heifers made for an active market. Feeder steers held a moderate flesh condition with a healthy frame. Demand was good to very good on the part of the buyers. Next sale is Sept. 25, 2020.
