Compared to last week, there were too few head in the offering for an adequate comparison however undertones had feeders steady to firm and calves steady to weak. Demand was moderate on a very light supply. The supplies were affected by the hot and humid conditions. The largest draft of the day was 66 head of 740 lb. steers which sold for 325.50/cwt. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released Friday, reported Inventories were down 1 percent, Placements were down 8 percent and Marketings were down 10 percent compared to a year ago. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Roger Parker family. Roger, who passed away Thursday, was a USDA/MDA Market Reporter in Northeast Missouri for over 40 years. He was a friend and mentor to many and whose wit and wisdom will be missed by all.
