As filed

Different weight classes compared to last week so an accurate price trend can not be established. .A couple strings and a handful of packages made up today's light offering. More flesh overall on the cattle this week with some heavy flesh and tag on the cattle at times. Quality varied, from plain to attractive. An active market as buyers compete for the few cattle moving at this time of year. The weather has been hot and humid this week and is expected to continue for the next couple weeks, Friday will be especially hot. Rain has been scattered but crop and grass conditions are still very good. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
