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.

One grade step is worth $30.80/cwt here — about $185 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.46, low $339.50, median $394.72 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
