Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, much lighter receipts this week due to the extreme heat over the weekend but a good quality offering of 450-650 steers sold firm to 5.00 higher with heifers under 600 lbs lightly tested, with 6 weights steady and a pot load of 718 lb heifers trading 2.00 higher than last week's pot load of similar weight. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower on a light test. Last Friday's Cattle on Feed Report showed cattle on feed at 100 percent, Placements at 98 percent and Marketings at 102 percent. The July 1st cattle Inventory report released last Friday showed all cattle and calves in the US totaling 98.8 million head down 2 percent from last year.
