Compared to last week: steers not well compared. Best test on heifers 700 to 750, 800 to 850 lbs, and 950 to 1000 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Good to very good demand for loads, packages, and a couple strings of yearling cattle offered today. Like last week, cattle came both off grass and out of yards, however, flesh today varied less than last week with mostly moderate to moderate plus flesh seen on today's offering. A few preconditioned spring calves on offer today, these were met with good demand. Quality mostly average to attractive today. An active market seen for this offering. Wheat harvest mostly finished in this area, some of the drier areas have started chopping corn. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 26.
