As filed

NOTE: Wheeler Livestock Auction will hold their monthly Special Replacement Cow Sale this Saturday, July 25th at 4:00 pm with over 1000 already consigned.

Compared to the last reported sale, todays feeder supply was very light due to the extreme warmer temps across the region the past week or so. That being said, the cash markets are lower 10.00 to 25.00 which has followed the future markets trending lower the past two weeks also. Demand was moderate to good but true comparables could not be made in today's inventory of feeders. Slaughter cattle sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher.
