Reporter comment USDA

As filed

First reported sale in month a market trend is not applicable. Nice run of fall calves and yearling feeders with a large supply coming off of summer grass at the annual BBQ sale. Demand was good for fall calves with moderate to good demand for yearlings. Large crowd on hand with some cattle being bought from the internet. Run down in the CME cattle boards the last couple days of trading took a little money off the yearling feeder market by weeks close. But, overall the market was sharply higher than recent weeks. Next special calf and feeder auction will be August 7.
