First feeder cattle sale in three weeks, no recent price comparisons available. Moderate to good demand for this nice summertime offering of yearling steers and heifers, along with a few consignments of spring born calves. The market was fairly active after a tough week in the cattle business, due to the extreme heat. Higher futures, during the heart of the sale, helped to give a little confidence to cattle feeders. Many long strings of yearlings, in light to heavy flesh, offered in full loads and multiple load lots.
