Compared to last week: Feeder steers 4.00-10.00 lower, instance to 15.00 lower over 900 lbs. Feeder heifers 2.00-8.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 5.00-15.00 lower. Demand moderate as buyers a little more selective for kind and condition. Cattle futures opened mostly in the green, only to close sharply lower. This following a fairly bullish Cattle on Feed report showing the lowest placements and marketing for the month of July since the series began. Quality average. Hot dry conditions continue for the western half of the state, while the eastern half enjoyed rains and some not so hot temperatures. Mid week temps expected to drop just below the 100 degree mark with some slight chances of rain.
