As filed

Too few feeder cattle from late August sales for good comparisons, however a lower undertone noted for most weights. Some steer calves were selling with a very good demand as many farmer buyers were in the market. Timely rains have late summer pastures in great shape. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate.
