Sale not reported last week due to light feeder cattle receipts and too few cattle from two weeks ago to compare to today's large offering and develop an accurate price trend. Very good demand for today's offering with best demand seen for cattle off grass. Several strings and many loads and packages available, including many tested open heifers. Flesh varied but mostly light to moderate on grass cattle and moderate to moderate plus on lot cattle. Attractive quality throughout the day. An active market with a houseful of buyers today. Cooler fall weather has arrived and some silage harvest has begun in this area. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 20.
