Compared to last sale: No comparison is available as this is the first sale that has been reported in several months. Trade activity and demand were good. Today's run consisted of mostly yearling type steers and heifers that were being brought in from summer grass. A firm undertone was noted for these yearling type cattle. The next available report will be Wednesday, August 25, 2021.
