First reported sale of the late summer marketing season, very good demand for this nice offering of yearling steers and heifers. Several long string of steers and heifers offered in full loads and multiple load lots, plus numerous smaller consignments that buyers could easily put together and make full loads. Overall quality was uneven, the market was the most active on those front end kinds as they commanded much attention and were easy to sell, while those more moderate framed and plainer kinds were bought accordingly. Flesh condition was light and attractive throughout the sale, as these cattle were offered right off grass. Next special feeder cattle sale will be Sept. 25, 2025.
