As filed

No recent price comparison of offered weight ranges of steers and heifers this week. A sharply higher undertone noted throughout the sale as the offering were feeling the effects of recent heat in recent days. Demand was good to very good on all classes of cattle today. The cattle market and the heat index were running a race to see which was hotter on the 25th Anniversary Customer Appreciation sale day. Limited comparison of slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher ahead of the holiday week next week. The next sale will be held on July 9, 2024. From the staff at USDA/MDA Market News Program, we hope you and yours have a safe and Happy Independence Day celebration.
