Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 1000 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instances up to 10.00 higher on 850 to 900 lbs. Best test on heifers 850 to 900 lbs mostly steady. Good to very good demand for another large yearling offering. Quite a few strings offered today, most of these attractive in quality and flesh and coming off grass. A few packages and loads of lot cattle in moderate to heavy flesh offered as well. An active market seen for this offering. Feed inventories in the area are looking very plentiful and most of the area is done with silage harvest. Some wet corn harvest has started. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, September 23.
