Compared to last week: different weight classes of steers with best test on 950 to 999 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers not well tested this week. Very good demand for this offering with best demand seen for cattle coming off grass. Flesh varied as there were both yard and grass cattle, but mostly light to moderate plus flesh. Quality average to attractive with most of the offering selling in strings and loads with lots of opportunities to fill pens with the same man's cattle which buyers took advantage of. An active market despite a sharp drop off in both feeder and live cattle. Rain has been plentiful the last few weeks with plenty of humidity. Crop and grass conditions are very good and it looks like feed will be plentiful if one can get it put up between rains. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, August 15.
