Receipts: 4751 Last Week: 1004 Year Ago: No Sale
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with

Demand was good to very good, as there was a large offering

as off grass. Best demand noted for light fleshed steers off
grass. Flesh condition varied throughout the sale from moderate
to moderate plus fleshed backgrounded cattle to light fleshed
yearlings off of grass. Attractive weighing conditions and
quality seen this week. Couple packages of spring born calves
both weaned and off the cow were met with good demand. Feeder
cattle offering was 56 percent steers, 44 percent heifers;
99 percent weighing over 600 lbs. Sale next Thursday August 24th,
with 1,500 head expected.
