Compared to last week: both steers and heifers of different weight classes this week than last week so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for today's offering featuring mostly packages and loads. Quality varied, especially on packages, from plain to attractive. Less flesh overall than last week with most of this weeks' cattle coming off grass, sometimes cattle were almost ugly green. An active market seen for this offering. Some very hot and humid days this week with much of the area under a heat advisory today, cooler temps expected for the end of the week. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 30.
