As filed

Different weight classes than last week with limited comparisons again this week, best test on heifers 850 to 900 lbs mostly steady, steers not well compared. Good to very good demand for this offering of strings, loads, and packages. As in recent weeks, flesh condition today varied from light to heavy as cattle are coming both off grass and out of feed yards. Mostly average to attractive quality again this week. An active market with many buyers attending the auction today. Wheat harvest in the area continues and is making good progress. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 19.
