Sale not reported last week due to light receipts, compared to two weeks ago:  
best test on steers 900 to 949 lbs steady on a narrow comparison, 950 to 999 
lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher.  Best test on heifers 900 to 949 lbs 3.00 to 4.00 
higher.  Very good demand for cattle today with best demand seen for cattle off 
grass and light cattle.  A few packages and many loads and strings, both out of 
yards and off grass.  Flesh varied quite a bit, from light to some heavy flesh 
on yard cattle.  Quality mostly average to attractive.  An active market with 
plenty of interest in buying multiple loads when offered. Despite some 
volatility in the futures complex, buyers remain extremely optimistic and want 
to keep pens full and take advantage of this record setting market.  Timely 
rains have kept crops and grass growing nicely.  Next feeder cattle sale is 
Wednesday, August 20.
