First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate trend can not be established, lower undertones noted. Moderate to good demand for today's large yearling offering consisting almost entirely of loads and strings of steers. Quality and flesh were both mostly attractive with many of the cattle coming off grass. Market activity just moderate at best with today's dismal futures putting even more pressure on the market today. Wheat harvest and haying continue in the area and both have been a challenge this year with all the wet weather and now cooler temps and shorter days. Rain is forecasted for the weekend with cooler temps and thundershowers following next week. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
