Compared to last week: Combined weighted average for 7 auctions: Ada, Apache, McAlester, Oklahoma City, OKC West, Tulsa, and Woodward. Feeder steers unevenly steady with early week sales steady to 3.00 higher; late in the week turning 1.00-3.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Calves trended mostly steady to lower on the week. Many new crop calves surfacing and with the high heat, these sold to limited demand. Demand moderate for feeder cattle. Cattle futures trended mostly lower, limiting the demand at those sales later in the week. Cash slaughter trade turned lower by late week as Boxed Beef prices continued to trend lower. Wheat harvest is in full swing across the state with just over 35 percent complete. Mother Nature turned the faucet off in June and the extreme drought conditions has moved into West Central Oklahoma. Now at least half of the state is reporting abnormally dry conditions. Things don't look to be getting any better soon either as temps expected to reach 100 for a few days next week. Supply included: 93% Feeder Cattle (57% Steers, 0% Dairy Steers, 40% Heifers, 3% Bulls); 5% Slaughter Cattle (89% Cows, 11% Bulls); 2% Replacement Cattle (10% Stock Cows, 64% Bred Cows, 0% Bred Heifers, 26% Cow-Calf Pairs). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 70%.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
