Sale not reported last week due to light receipts, compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 999 lbs and 1100 to 1149 lbs 7.00 to 10.00 lower. Heifers not well tested today for comparison. Very good demand for this offering featuring several strings of steers and a handful of packages, most of these were weaned fall calves. Quality mostly attractive on the loads of cattle, more varied quality on packages, from plain to attractive. Flesh condition light to moderate plus. An active market with buyers many times taking multiple loads when offered. Most of the area is seeing a much needed rain today with another rainy day forecasted for tomorrow. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
