Too few cattle this week to compare and develop an accurate price trend. Mostly packages and just a couple loads made up today's light offering with quite a few of the packages being tested open heifers. The majority of the cattle were off grass, flesh mostly light to moderate today. Lots of home raised cattle today, quality varied but mostly average to attractive. A moderate to active market with a more limited crowd of buyers in the seats. Hot weather expected for the holiday weekend. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 6.
