Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not reported in recent weeks so an accurate trend can not be established. Good demand for today's offering of packages, loads, and a couple strings. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus, with some of the offering out of feed yards and a few cattle coming off grass. Quality ranged from plain to attractive. An active market for the offering with a fair amount of buyers attending the sale. Crop and grass conditions in the area are very good. Producers are busy putting up hay, frequent rains are making this somewhat difficult this year. Next feeder cattle sale is next Friday, July 26, 1000 head of feeders consigned so far.
