As filed

Too light an offering two weeks ago to compare to today and develop an accurate trend, higher undertones noted. Good demand for today's offering of mostly loads and strings of average to attractive quality steers and heifers which sold on an active market. Flesh varied, from light to moderate plus. There were several chances to obtain multiple loads of the same man's cattle and buyers often took advantage of this opportunity to fill pens. Very hot and humid weather expected for this next week. Some areas, especially to the north, are seeing dry conditions. No sale next seek due to the 4th of July holiday, watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
