Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-8.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested however undertones were steady. Demand was good and improved throughout the day. The supply was moderate with several high quality drafts in the offering. One stick-out draft was 81 head of 553 lb. heifers, from the Pace Farm, that brought 266.50. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released Friday, reported Inventories were 2 percent lower, Placements were 3 percent higher and Marketings were 5 percent lower. Also released Friday was the semi-annual Cattle Inventory Report which revealed that Cattle Inventory is the second lowest on record since 1973. Beef Cow Inventory is the lowest July since data collection began in 1971. Also noted was that the Calf Inventory was the third lowest since records began in 1977 with only 2013 and 2014 seeing lower numbers.
