As filed

A lighter offering than last week with few comparable sales, best test on steers 850 to 950 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Heifers not well tested today for comparison. Good demand for today's offering of mostly steers sold in a long string and a handful of loads. A few packages offered, quite a few of these were fall calves and these light calves are met with very good demand. Less flesh overall than last weeks' offering, most cattle today in moderate to moderate plus flesh, a few packages off grass in light flesh. Quality mostly average to attractive. A moderate to active market with most of the normal crowd of buyers attending. Next feeder sale is Wednesday, July 22.
