Compared to last report (6-26-20): Yearling steers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher. Yearling heifers sold mostly 13.00-18.00 higher in a narrow
comparison. Most yearlings were coming off grass and were in light flesh. Demand was mostly moderate to good for moderate offerings.
Quality this week was average to attractive. The best demand this week was for yearlings offered in load lots. Packages of yearlings sold on
moderate demand. CME positions showed strong improvements since last reported sale. As of this Thursday's settlement the August feeder
cattle contract closed at 144.95, 11.70 higher than the close June 26th. Buyer attendance was good this week with many buyers actively
bidding on offerings. Market activity was mostly active as a result. Weigh up cows sold on mostly mixed demand this week. Early in the week
demand was good for both feeding and slaughter cows, however, demand diminished sharply as the week progressed. With over a month
since the last reported sale and with mixed prices seen this week, an accurate market trend can not be established on feeding cows, slaughter
cows or bulls. Several buyers purchased feeding bulls this week. This helped improve bull prices on thinner, lower dressing bulls under 2,000
lbs. Demand for re-breed type cattle was limited and most of these offerings sold as feeding cows this week. Quality was average.
