Compared to last week no test on yearling feeder steers. Feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. First really good test of the bawling fall calf run. Few, comparable sales of steers and heifers sold unevenly steady to the light test last week. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower and bulls sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Spotty rain showers across the state. Bulk of the state is very dry with little to nothing to eat in most range pastures. Some cattlemen have been supplementing cattle through the summer. Appears the fall calf run has started at some auction locations.
