As filed

First reported sale in recent weeks so an accurate price trend is not possible. Good to very good demand for today's offering featuring mostly loads of yearlings as well as a few packages. A few cattle off grass but most of the offering came out of yards, flesh varied quite a bit today, from light to heavy. Quality mostly average to attractive. An active market with a good attendance of buyers. Wheat harvest is underway, some rain across the area last night and this morning with more expected tonight and tomorrow. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 21.
