Compared to last week: best test on steers 850 to 900 lbs and 950 to 1000 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Best test on heifers 800 to 850 and 951 to 1000 mostly steady, 851 to 950 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's yearling offering featuring many strings, loads and packages both off grass and out of yards with best demand seen for cattle off grass. More variation in flesh this week with some of the yard cattle in moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Flesh on grass cattle similar to last week with most in light to moderate flesh. Overall quality similar to last week with mostly attractive cattle on offer. There were many chances to buy multiple loads of cattle from one producer to fill pens. An active market with many buyers and producers attending the auction today. Much of the area received rain again this week and the wet conditions have put a stop to any harvest and other fall work which is already later than normal. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, October 8, Special Customer Appreciation Sale.
