First reported feeder sale in a month so an accurate price trend can not be established. Today's sale featured three strings of steers off grass and a handful of loads and packages out of yards. Good to very good demand for cattle off grass, these attractive steers carried light to moderate flesh. Moderate to good demand for yard cattle, flesh condition on these mostly moderate plus to heavy. An active market for cattle off grass with buyers taking multiple loads to fill pens, a more moderate market on yard cattle. The recent uncertainty of the futures complex is causing quite a bit of concern in the industry. Much of this area remains dry and July was very hot, grass and crops are suffering and in desperate need of moisture. Watch local listings for the next feeder cattle sale.
