As filed

No trends due to the market not being reported the last 2 week's. CME Feeder cattle futures were hindered by higher feed costs, settling 5 to 12 cents lower. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was up $1.09 on June 12 at $255.86. Trade very active with very good demand.

17 sales

Steers 700–800 lb: high $417.81, low $322.83, median $379.98 across 17 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
