Compared to last week:  best test on steers 900 to 949 lbs 7.00 to 12.00 higher 
and 950 to 999 lbs 10.00 to 15.00 higher, both on a narrow comparison.  Heifers 
not well compared.  Good to very good demand for this offering with best demand 
seen for cattle off grass.  About two thirds of the offering was out of yards 
and these cattle carried some heavy flesh and tag at times.  Grass cattle in 
mostly light to moderate flesh.  Quality varied, from plain to attractive.  A 
couple packages of spring born calves offered, these were met with light to 
moderate demand as most yards are not quite ready to take on calves.  Calves 
offering included both weaned and off the cow as well as vaccinated and not 
touched calves.  An active market seen for this offering.  Temperatures much 
cooler this week and without the humidity, very nice weather for livestock.  
Next feeder cattle sale is Wednesday, September 3.
