Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Sale not reported recently so an accurate price trend can not be established. Very good demand for today's yearling offering of strings and loads. Cattle came both off grass and out of yards, grass cattle in mostly light to moderate flesh, yard cattle mostly moderate plus with some heavy flesh at times. An active market for this offering with buyers often taking multiple loads to fill pens. Very hot weather expected today with a heat advisory in effect. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, August 12.
