Compared to last week feeder cattle sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter and feeding cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 4.00 lower. Extreme heat across the region along with a sharply lower CME cattle boards has yearling and cow/calf operators holding off some receipts due to the uncertainty of the cattle market. Hay producers are in full swing of production with tonnage on the light side in many areas due to lack of irrigation water this summer.
