As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 850-900 lbs 5.00 to 15.00 higher, 1000-1050 lbs steady, other weights not well compared. Feeder heifers 750-900 lbs 5.00 to 15.00 higher, 900-950 lbs steady. Very good demand for the few offerings of packages of spring born calves, plenty of buyers on the seats looking buy these light calves. Very good demand for the nice summertime offering of yearling steers and heifers. Flesh condition varied greatly as there were yearlings right off grass, along with those coming out of growing yards in a moderate plus to heavy flesh condition. Many full loads and multiple load lots, buyers were very cognizant of the flesh differences and bid accordingly. The market was very active as buyers were ready to compete heavily to get cattle bought. The next feeder sale will be in two weeks, Sept. 8, 2025.
