Compared to two weeks ago, heifer offerings at the Valentine Livestock Auction were limited, no trend will be provided. The majority of steer offerings, weighing 900 to 950 lbs consisted of home-raised cattle or those purchased from one ranch, traded 9.00 to 14.00 lower. These declines are primarily attributed to the sharp losses in the CME cattle futures over the past two weeks. Market conditions were in the buyers' favor, as most cattle were coming off short, dry pasture grass from the Nebraska Sandhills. Next Auction Dates for Aug. 6th & 27th Special Feeder Sale
