Compared to last week: Light number of light steers trend not applicable. Many large load lots in over 1000 lbs. steers, making much higher prices paid for larger steers. Heifers 850-950 lbs. were 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good, with buyers filling big lots with one mans feeders. Next feeder cattle auction will be Aug. 4th, expecting 3000 head of feeders, starting at 8:30 am.
