Compared to last week: Light numbers today so trend not applicable. A higher undertone was noted on steers 800-900 lbs. Steers 1050-1100 lbs. were 3.00 lower. A higher undertone was noted on heifers up to 800 lbs. Heifers 800-1000 lbs. sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Many load lots in larger weight cattle today. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct.13th, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.
