Sale not reported in several weeks so an accurate price trend can not be established. An active market with lots of buyers on the seats competing with internet buyers as cattle feeders try to fill empty pens. A big run of yearlings and weaned fall calves made up todays sale. Several strings of reputation cattle offered buyers the opportunity to put multiple loads of one owner cattle together. Most of the offering was attractive for quality and in light to medium flesh. The cash fed cattle market continues to improve, giving cattle feeders some optimism to purchase high priced feeder cattle. Weather has been extremely hot and fairly humid this past week with a little relief in the next couple of weeks. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, August 16, 2024
