First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. Good to very good demand for this large yearling offering with the majority being black steers off grass selling in strings and loads. Quality and flesh were both attractive, with most of the grass cattle in light to moderate flesh. A few loads of cattle out of lots, some heavy flesh seen on these. An active market with the usual crowd of buyers in the seats and selecting multiple loads to fill pens. The past couple weeks have been hot and humid with some areas seeing thunderstorms, overall a nice rain would be welcome although crops and grass still look very good. Cooler weather expected for next week. Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, August 9.
