As filed

Compared to last week: Steers steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers unevenly steady. Quality average. Demand good. Summertime temperatures are allowing farmers to return to the fields and bale hay. CME cattle futures were dollars higher again today, continuing their upward trend. Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls 5.00 higher. With grass still holding strong, farmers are staying aggressive on buying all types of slaughter cattle, leaving packers struggling to fill orders.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $327.33, median $400.64 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
