Compared to last week:  different weight classes of steers with best test on 
950 to 999 lbs steady to 4.00 higher.  Heifers not well tested this week.  Very 
good demand for this offering with best demand seen for cattle coming off 
grass.  Flesh varied as there were both yard and grass cattle,  but mostly 
light to moderate plus flesh.  Quality average to attractive with most of the 
offering selling in strings and loads with lots of opportunities to fill pens 
with the same man's cattle which buyers took advantage of.  An active market 
despite a sharp drop off in both feeder and live cattle.  Rain has been 
plentiful the last few weeks with plenty of humidity.  Crop and grass 
conditions are very good and it looks like feed will be plentiful if one can 
get it put up between rains.  Next feeder cattle sale is Friday, August 15.
