NOTE; This report is last week’s auction report
which was not printed because of the early
presstune.
Compared to Tuesday, slaughter steers sold
firm to mostly 1 00 higher The good run in
cluded some well-fed steers with the bulk of the
cattle weighing up very good due to the high
temperatures The supply included nearly 600
head, although the crowd was pretty light as
most producers are scrambling to get as much
hay pul up as possible before the next round of
rain showers sweep through the area. Demand
picked up from both packer and kosher buyers
as they work the chains a little harder to keep
up with the grilling demand as the Fourth of
July holiday comes at the end of next week.
Compared to the good supply of Holstein steers
on Monday, prices were steady to firm for the
spotted stock; with the exception of the high
Choice and Prime Holsteins which sold steady
to 1.00 lower. A good run of heifers sold with a
higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00
higher in very active trading. The boneless mar
ket is sharply higher for the week as packers
rush to get as much hamburger ground as possi
ble in hopes of good weather for outdoor grillers
for the upcoming holiday. Slaughter bulls sold
with a firmer undertone. The supply included
559 head of slaughter steers, 403 slaughter
cows, 53 slaughter heifers, 74 slaughter bulls,
with 98 head of feeder cattle.
