Compared to last week: Light numbers today, so trend not applicable. A lower undertone was noted on steers up to 900 lbs. Steers 900 lbs. and up had a steady to higher undertone. Heifers 800-1000 lbs. were 2.00-8.00 lower. Many load lots in heavier feeders today. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct.20th, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 9;00 am.
