The last sale report was over a month ago, so no price comparisons will be made. Very good demand for todays offering of yearlings and fall calves. Flesh condition ranged from light fleshed cattle off grass to moderate flesh cattle coming out of a grow yard. Lots of buyer interest in procuring cattle at todays auction competing with the internet buyers. Several strings of reputation yearlings were offered in multiple loads, up to 15 loads, per sort. Overall a very active market with the market trend continuing upward. Todays on feed report would be considered bullish with smaller placement than projected. Next feeder sale is scheduled for Friday, August 15, 2025.
