First sale in three weeks, no recent price comparison available however a much higher undertone noted on all weights of steers and for heifers under 800 lbs, bigger heifers showed a steady undertone. Good to very good demand for this nice, summer offering of yearlings and fall calves. Many long strings of yearlings offered in full loads, including multiple load lots. Flesh condition ranged from very light to moderate plus, the market was very active on the light fleshed cattle and more moderate on the heavier fleshed steers and heifers. The cash fed cattle market moved higher this week which breathed new life into the feeder cattle market. Plenty of buyers on the seats ready to buy yearlings. Next feeder cattle sale will be in 2 weeks, July 26, 2019 expecting 5,000-6,000 feeder cattle.
