As filed

Different weight classes today than last week so an accurate price trend could not be established. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring mostly strings and loads of big cattle from yards in moderate plus to heavy flesh. A couple consignments of fall calves coming off grass in light flesh were met with very good demand. Similar quality to last week, mostly average to attractive. An active market seen for this offering. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, July 29.
