As filed

Compared to last sale: All classes too light to test, but lower undertone noted. Demand moderate to good. Quality average. Limited receipts due to the extreme heat and dry conditions. After closing limit down yesterday, CME Feeder Futures boards started out strong today rising to as much as 7.00 higher mid-day. At the time of this report, boards have dipped back down to 1.00 higher and are still open.
