Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 750-800 lbs 3.00 lower, 850-900 lbs 8.00 lower, 950-1000lbs 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 700-750 lbs 2.00 higher, 750-800 lbs 1.00 lower, 800-850 lbs 4.00 higher, 850-900 lbs 7.00 higher. Demand was good to moderate on today's offering of feeder steers and heifers. Quality was mostly attractive with feeders in light to moderate flesh. Next sale is scheduled for October 14, 2020 expecting 3500 new crop calves.
