Compared to last week: Very few steers again this week, trend not applicable. Start of spring calves today, many bull and heifers with no shots, lower undertone. Heifers 800-950 lbs. sold steady to 1.00 lower. Demand was good with many load lots in todays offering. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct. 7th, expecting 2000-2500 head of feeders, starting at 9:30 am.
