Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00-15.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves 10.00-20.00 lower. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Demand light to moderate for calves as summer's heat seems relentless. The heat dome moved more to the south letting in some cooler temps and much needed rains from the Oklahoma Panhandle and eastward over North Central Oklahoma. Cattle futures ended the day mixed. Receipts continue to run 50-60 percent of a year ago. Quality plain to average.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $477.14, low $399.75, median $443.91 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf
