As filed

No trends available due to the market closure last week for the July 4th holiday. Feeder buyers showed good demand for the higher quality calves especially if they were weaned. The buyers are starting to voice concerns of calf health due to the very warm temperatures we are having. Slaughter cows were still in very high demand and slaughter bulls in lesser demand.
