Compared to last week: A light number of steers so trend not applicable. A higher undertone was noted on lighter steers. Steers over 1000 lbs. were dollars lower, due to lower volume of big load lots to fill large lots. Heifers 700-900 lbs. sold steady. 900-950 lbs. sold 5.00 lower. Demand was good , Few load lots today. Next feeder cattle auction will be Aug.11th, expecting 4000-5000 head of feeders, starting at 8:30 am.
