Commodity Futures Report
The USD A released the
monthly 7 state cattle-on-feed
report. There were 6.3 million
head on feed on August 1.
This is 1% less than last year
at the same time. There were
1% more cattle sold out of
feedlots during July. The big
surprise came on the
placements into feedlots
during the month. Traders
were looking for 24% more
cattle placed on feed but the
report showed the increase to
be 43% more. This will cause
weakness in the more distant
months. The big increase was
due to dry, hot weather,
particularly in the Southeast.

Lets face it. As dependable as
your air conditioner is, it won’t be
around forever. And though saying
goodbye isn’t easy, think about it
another way ; if your air conditioner
isn’t a high-efficiency unit, you’ve
probably been using more electricity
than you should trying to keep cool.
A high-efficiency air conditioner
gives you the same amount of axil
air as your old unit, but uses less
electricity. And qualifying units earn
a valuable rebate from the electric
company. In other words, a high-
efficiency air conditioner ought to be
money in your pocket, any way you
look at it.
Your recognized Energy Action
air conditioning dealer or contractor
can help you choose the best unit for
you. Look on the bright side. Look
into a high-efficiency air conditioner
or heat pump. Because with the
electricity you’ll save, the day your
old air conditioner
bites the dust could
be the happiest day
