Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trends due to scheduling conflicts and market not reported the last 2 weeks. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $222.18 on 6/20, down by 50 cents. CME feeder cattle market was squeezed by mostly weaker fats and surging corn prices on Wednesday. The front months settled with triple digit losses of as much as $4.42. August is now down 7% from nearly seeing new all time highs earlier this month. Trade active with good demand.
