As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle 6.00-7.00 higher. Quality was more attractive this week as buyers where able to purchase load lots. Buyer attendance was good. Slaughter cows and bulls 5.00-6.00 lower as dry conditions force ranchers to bring more cows to town. Trade active with good demand. The weekly FAS data release showed beef export bookings were 22,467 MT for the week that ended 7/22. That was down from 25k MT last week but still 43% above the same week last year. South Korea was the top buyer with an 8,200 MT purchase, followed by Japan and China at 6,100 and 4,500 MT respectively. South Korea was also the top destination for the week’s 19,135 MT of export shipments.
