Supplies increase substantially this week with the July 4th holi day being out of the way. In addition, majority of the producers finished up in the hay fields last week before the weekend rains. However, buyers were a little hesitant to move livestock early in the week due to the extreme tempera tures and humidity. But by week?s end market activity was active especially from the kosher slaughters as they were frying to fill next week slaughter schedules. Additionally, they had plenty to choose from late in the week as quality improved as they continued to trade above the 80.00 mark. Nationally, western direct feed yard?s continued to move the bulk of their live steers at 75.00, with dresses sales at 119.00-120.00, which is steady to weak. The Au gust contracts move up around 71.00, but still trading at a discount to the cash trade. The boxed beef trade was slightly higher for the week, with the Choice and Select spread still around 7.00 as heavy Choice carcasses were at 130.53 on Thursday, with the heavy Select at 123.86. Local Holstein prices were 2.00 to 3.00 higher this week, with some high quality steeis trade as high as 75.50. Slaughter heifers sold at mostly steady prices on limited numbers. Slaughter cows finished the week at steady to mostly 2.00 lower after trading as much as 6.00 lower early in the week on some lower quality cows, with excess fill. Slaughter bulls traded steady to film, with some very high dressing Charolias bulls trading at 67.50-70.75, with a few up to 73.00 early in the week.
