No sale last week: compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 1000 to 1099 lbs 10.00 higher. Heifers not well compared. Very good demand for today's offering. A few packages offered, including a few tested open heifers, with the rest of the offering selling in loads and strings. A wide range in flesh condition today as there were quite a few warmed up yard cattle as well as some of the first cattle coming off grass, flesh condition from light to heavy. Quality on loads and strings mostly attractive, more plain to average cattle in packages. An active market with plenty of eager bidders. A huge amount of optimism in the industry right now with all signs pointing to an outstanding fall and winter marketing season. Quite a bit of precipitation last week has most areas sitting well for moisture and crops and pastures look very good, however there are still pastures with dry dugouts and waterholes. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
