Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 13.00 to 20.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Quality was mostly plain to average with a several nice bunches of bred cattle on offer. Slaughter cows traded 5.00 to 6.00 higher. The higher market today fell in line with both the CME feeder and live cattle contracts have traded in the green the past two days following the bullish Cattle Inventory report. The most recent USDA-NASS cattle inventory report shows the smallest July 1 inventory in the history of the data series. Buyer demand remains very good as available cattle supplies continue to tighten.
