As filed

*Close*

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 6.00-10.00 higher. Feeder steers traded 4.00-6.00 higher with feeder heifers not well tested. Demand was very good on a light supply. Heat warnings and advisories had a bigger effect on supply than demand as receipts were the lightest seen this month. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released last week, had Inventories slightly higher than a year ago with Placements 2 percent lower and Marketings 2 percent higher. Grains Futures traded higher while Feeder Cattle Futures and Live Cattle Futures traded lower.
