As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 950 to 1050 lbs 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Best test on heifers 900 to 950 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Good demand for today's offering featuring several strings and loads of back grounded cattle as well as loads and packages of home raised cattle which sold on an active market. Slightly more flesh on the cattle today than two weeks ago with most of the offering in moderate plus flesh with some heavy flesh at times. Some tag on the cattle today as well as the area has been getting a good amount of rain. Next feeder cattle sale is next Wednesday, July 17.
