Compared to the sale two weeks ago; Steers 800 lbs 9.00+ lower with a much larger offering in the previous sale. Steers 850 lbs 7.00 lower, 900 lbs 2.00 lower. Heifers 800 lbs 2.00 higher. Too light a test on smaller cattle. CME feeder cattle futures 5.00-7.00 lower today. Several load lots, many half loads and smaller strings in the offering today. Demand good for this light sale. The next auction is August 28.
