As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves due to last week's light test, but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to weak on a light test. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was attractive, with the majority of the supply consisting of load lots off cattle of the short grass or graze out wheat. According to the Cattle Market Analysis and Report, Summer movements of cattle are slowing and as they slow, feedlots are finding bidding extremely competitive for the reduced offerings. Feeder prices remain strong ignoring super high grain prices. Heavy weight cattle are popular for placements with cattle cost in some instances lower than costs to add pounds in the feedyard.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
