As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from three weeks ago, all weights of steers and the feeder heifers under 650 lbs traded with a sharply higher undertone. Few comparisons for the feeder heifers over 650 lbs. Excellent late summer prices for the producers that have calves or yearlings they may want to market. The last two weeks have brought some nice rains across the local area with pastures turning green again and easing the need for supplemental feeding at least for a while.
