Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers and bulls sharply lower overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers, but a lower undertone noted for those weighing up to 600 lbs. Lower-quality offerings, and decreased buyer activity due to the approaching July 4th holiday, was noted for feeder classes. Regarding slaughter classes- breaker cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher, with boning and lean cows mostly steady overall, and bulls sharply lower.
