Compared to last week: Last week we had very few steers, so trend not applicable. A steady undertone was noted on 850-950 lbs. steers. Heifers 800-1000 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 lower. Demand was good, with many load lots in todays offering. Grains continue to go down in price. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 16th, expecting 3000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
