Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 1000 lbs not well compared, over 1000 lbs 9.00 to 15.00 higher, heifers under 800 lbs not well compared, over 800 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Demand for this eye catching offering of green cattle was good. The large offering of non implant steers were in very high demand today. Several groups of cattle were hauled in overnight. Total cattle in the US on July 1 last year versus July 1 this year is down 2 percent. The drought across parts of the country continues to force the culling of cows as well. CME Feeder Cattle is down while corn jumps higher again. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Bulls 4.00 to 6.00 higher.
