Sale not reported last week due to light receipts, compared to two weeks ago: best test on steers 900 to 949 lbs steady on a narrow comparison, 950 to 999 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Best test on heifers 900 to 949 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for cattle today with best demand seen for cattle off grass and light cattle. A few packages and many loads and strings, both out of yards and off grass. Flesh varied quite a bit, from light to some heavy flesh on yard cattle. Quality mostly average to attractive. An active market with plenty of interest in buying multiple loads when offered. Despite some volatility in the futures complex, buyers remain extremely optimistic and want to keep pens full and take advantage of this record setting market. Timely rains have kept crops and grass growing nicely. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 20.
