Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 1000 lbs 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Best test on heifers 750 to 800 lbs steady to 1.00 higher. Good demand for today's offering featuring many loads and multiple loads including several consignments of home raised cattle. Quality mostly attractive today and flesh varied, but mostly moderate to moderate plus. An active market seen for today's offering. The weather has been very hot the past week and is expected to be very hot most of next week as well. Most of the area is still very dry, although some areas saw rain last night. Some cattle in town again this week due to the dry conditions as producers try to stretch their grass. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
