Compared to last week: steers and heifers of different weight classes than last week so an accurate price trend can not be established, higher undertones noted on heifers. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring mostly loads and one long string of heifers off grass. Flesh varied again this week depending on where the cattle came from , best demand seen for light fleshed cattle off grass. Overall quality mostly attractive today. An active market seen for this offering. Very hot temperatures this week with heat advisories in effect and no moisture for most areas. These are very harsh conditions for livestock, as well as further deteriorating grass and crop conditions. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 4.
