Too light an offering today to compare with last week and develop an accurate price trend. A handful of loads and packages made up today's offering which was met with mostly good demand. A few cattle off grass but the majority were out of yards, flesh condition ranged from moderate to moderate plus. Quality mostly average to attractive. Market was mostly active with a few less buyers in the crowd today. The CME futures complex remains volatile and there is a great deal of uncertainty in the market, made even worse with the fall run so close. Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, August 26.
