Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures extended the bounce out of Monday's limit losses, with $2.20 to $5.02 gains at the close. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was back down 22 cents on July 29 to $347.69. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade active with good demand.

Steers 600–700 lb: high $452.76, low $330.00, median $379.62 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
