Compared to last week: best test on steers 900 to 949 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher, 1000 to 1049 lbs mostly steady. Heifers not well compared. Very good demand for cattle again this week. Today's offering consisted of mostly strings and loads with cattle coming both off grass and out of yards. Flesh similar to last week with most cattle in light to moderate plus flesh. Lots of attractive cattle to choose from, including several strings that were home raised. A very active market seen for the offering again this week. Grass and crop conditions remain very good, hot weather is forecasted for next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, July 26.
