Another light offering of feeder cattle this week with not enough numbers to develop an accurate price trend. higher undertones noted on both steers and heifers. Good demand for today's offering of loads and packages which sold on an active market. Quality and flesh were very attractive with many of the cattle coming off grass in light flesh. Quite a few tested open heifers coming to town again today. The beginning of this week has brought much needed sunshine and warm temperatures. Very little silage harvest has started as most fields are still too wet. Many producers are trying to wrap up their hay which has been very challenging in the wet and humid conditions. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, September 25.
