Compared to last week: best test on steers 800 to 849 lbs and 900 to 949 lbs steady. Best test on heifers 800 to 899 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Very good demand for another large offering of yearlings off grass this week. Flesh similar to last week, mostly light to moderate, with some fill on the cattle at times. Quite a few home raised consignments today. Most of the heifers offered were either tested open or spayed. Quality varied a bit more than last week, but still plenty of attractive cattle to choose from. An active market with buyers taking all loads of a cut on many occasions enabling them to fill pens with one man's cattle. Rain forecasted for the next few days and through the weekend will put a damper on harvest. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 27.
