As filed

Last sale was three weeks ago so no comparisons to be made. Nice offering of mostly yearlings off grass, a few consignments of fall calves. The majority of todays offering were tested open replacement heifers, with several consignments of yearling steers off grass. A very active market with mostly order buyers in the seats competing with internet buyers. Extremely warm day had the cattle in condition to favor the buyer. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed cattle off grass to moderate plus cattle coming out of a growyard. On feed report today showed lighter than expected placement numbers. Hot temperatures are forecasted for next week will be hard on livestock and will contribute to deteriorating pasture conditions. Next feeder sale will be September 1, 2023
