Different weight classes of steers and heifers than last week so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for today's yearling offering featuring one string, a hand full of loads, and many packages. Similar to recent weeks, many tested open heifers in town today as producers get PG testing out of the way. Quality and flesh similar to last week, from plain to attractive, flesh mostly light to moderate plus. An active market with a few less buyers than normal in attendance today. Widespread rain across the area the last few weeks have greened things up. Some yard cattle today even showed some tag as lot conditions have gotten really muddy in some areas. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 15.
