Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Too light an offering with different weight classes to compare to last week and develop an accurate price trend. Good to very good demand for today's light offering of packages and loads. Flesh was quite varied today, from light to heavy, as cattle came both off grass and out of yards. Varied quality as well, from plain to attractive. An active market with plenty of buyers attending the auction today. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 5.
