No feeder cattle sale last week, compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 850 to 950 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Best test on heifers 750 to 850 lbs 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Good demand for today's offering of packages, loads, and several strings of steers and heifers. Flesh condition varied quite a bit today, from light to heavy. A few cattle coming off grass today in light flesh. Quality similar to two weeks ago, mostly average to attractive, some plainer cattle in packages. An active market seen for this auction. The weather has been very hot with lots of humidity, making conditions miserable for cattle and owners alike. The area saw some storms over the 4th of July weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, July 15.
