Compared to last week: Dakota Fest going on today in Mitchell made for small run of feeders. Trend not applicable. A steady to lower undertone was noted on light steers. Heavy steers were 3.00-11.00 lower, {1000-1100 lbs. } Heifers 800-950 lbs. sold 1.00 higher. Demand was fair. The next feeder cattle auction will be Aug. 25th, expecting 4500 head of feeders, starting at 8:30 am.
