Compared to a week ago: Due to the uncertainty of the beef market some of the consignors canceled for today. Trend not applicable. A higher undertone was noted on lighter steers, Steers 1000-1050 lbs. were 2.00 higher. A unevenly steady undertone was noted on heifers. Demand was good. Most lots were in big numbers today. The next feeder cattle auction will be Sept. 3rd, starting at 10:00 am.
