Compared to last week: different weight classes today than last week with only 700 to 750 lbs heifers with numbers to compare, these were steady to 1.00 higher. Very good demand for today's yearling offering featuring several strings as well as many loads and packages with cattle off grass seeing the best demand. Both yard and grass cattle again this week but with less variation in flesh, mostly light to moderate plus today. Quality average to attractive today but slightly more attractive overall than last week. Packages included quite a few tested open heifers. An active market with many buyers in the seats. Some producers starting on corn silage. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 7.
