FEEDER CATTLE            3291           809     3142      
  
  
Last feeder sale was two weeks ago; best test on steers  950 lbs to 999 lbs 
were 8.00 to 12.00 higher, best test on heifers 900 lbs to 949 lbs were 6.00 to 
8.00 higher on limited comparisons.  Other weight classes to limited to make a 
good comparison.  Good to very good demand for todays offering with most cattle 
coming off grass.  Several strings of reputation yearling steers along with 
loads and packages of tested open replacement heifers made up the bulk of the 
sale.  An Active market as order buyers competing with internet buyers trying 
to refill pen space.  Best demand was for full loads or multiple loads of the 
the same sort.  Wide spread showers in the area with more showers forecasted 
over the weekend. August feeder cattle futures for 2025 are $120 per cwt above 
August of 2024, think about that for a minute.  Next feeder sale is scheduled 
for September 12, 2025.
