Compared to last week: A steady to higher undertone was noted on steers up to 800 lbs. Steers over 800 lbs. sold steady to 8.00 higher. A unevenly steady undertone was noted on heifers up to 800 lbs. Heifers over 800 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower. Not many feeders under 800 lbs. any more. Many load lots in todays offering. Demand was good . The next feeder cattle auction will be Aug. 6th, starting at 10:00 am, expecting 2000 head of feeders.
