A much lighter offering today than last week with too few comparable weight classes to develop an accurate price trend, lower undertones noted on steers over 900 lbs. Good to very good demand for a handful of packages and loads of both home raised and backgrounded cattle. Most cattle were in moderate to moderate plus flesh with some fill seen at times. Quality mostly average to attractive. A few less buyers than normal today but the market was still active. Most of the area is seeing nice weather this week without the excessive heat and humidity of last week, mostly dry conditions in the forecast. Quite a bit of hay is up and wheat is turning. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
