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.
