As filed

Different weight classes than last week so an accurate trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this offering of mostly packages and loads. Similar to last week, flesh varied from light to heavy depending on where the cattle were coming from. Quality today mostly average to attractive. An active market seen for this offering. Wheat harvest is just getting a good start in the area and many producers are still putting up hay, feed supplies look to be very plentiful this year. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 12.
