Direct trading was at a standstill this week.
Direct trading may pickup in the near future if Mother Nature doesn't 
start releasing some much needed moisture across both reporting areas.
Fires continue across thousands of grazing acers and many of those acres 
will probably not grazed this summer.
Time will tell!  Feedlots felt the pressure from the outside of the 
market place this week along with a negative CME cattle boards throughout the 
week.
Letting packers bid at lower money and willing sellers took the price 
to help keep market ready cattle moving through the supply chain.
Live sales in Nebraska sold 5.00 lower at 235.00 and dressed sales sold 
8.00 lower at 372.00 as the psychology has swung to the packer having the upper 
hand.
