Compared to last week: Had very few steers for todays auction so trend not applicable. Heifers 800-900 lbs. sold 2.00-4.00 lower. State Fair going on in SD this week, may be why low numbers today. Demand was fair, most heifers sold in load lots. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 9th, expecting 3500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
