Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder cattle too lightly tested last sale to offer a good comparison with this week's much larger offering. A higher undertone was noted. Demand was good, a few large load lots in todays offering. Next auction will be Sept. 14th, expecting 3500 plus, starting at 9:30 am.
