Compared to last week: Feeder steers not well tested last sale for comparison with this week, feeder heifers 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Very good demand for this nice offering of high quality yearling steers and heifers in an attractive flesh condition. Many packages and longs strings, including full loads and multiple load lots. The market was very active on both the packages and loads as the quality was outstanding. Cattle feeders were feeling better about the market as the cattle futures contracts have made a substantial rally in the last two weeks. There were a few consignments of spring born calves, without preconditioning shots and right off the cow were met by light demand as few buyers are ready to handle a bawling calf right now. Next feeder cattle sale will be Oct. 4 expecting 4,000-4,500 feeder cattle.
