Compared to last week: best test on steers 850 to 950 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Best test on heifers 650 to 700 lbs steady to 2.00 lower and 900 to 950 lbs mostly 1.00 higher. Good to very good demand for today's offering which included several strings and many loads and packages. Similar flesh as last week, from light to moderate plus with cattle coming both off grass and out of yards. Quality varied, from plain to attractive, less attractive quality overall than last week. An active market seen for this offering. No moisture again this past week for the area and temperatures have returned to the 90's. Grass and crop conditions are deteriorating quickly. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, July 28.
