CATTLE CALVES
THIS WEEK 2425 2071
LAST WEEK 1688 1853
LAST YEAR 2643 2138
Compared to last week's closing prices, slaugh
ter steeis sold mostly steady. 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. The reported
supply this week in Lancaster County included
885 head of slaughter steers, 157 head of
slaughter heifers, 1074 head of slaughter cows,
148 head of slaughter bulls, and 161 head of
feeder cattle.

Calf Summary: Compared to last week?s
closing prices, slaughter calves sold steady for
the week. Holstein bull calves suitable for spe
cial-fed veal barns sold steady to 28.00 higher
for the week. The greatest price increase was
noticed in the Graded Number Two Bull calves
in part due to the addition of the Graded Num
ber Three Bull?s to the sifting process. This
greatly improved the quality and uniformity of
the sorts. After first implemented in Vintage on
Tuesday, Number Two Bull calves sold nearly
40.00- higher, between 137.00- 170.00.
Northeast special fed veal mostly 235.00-265.00,
few small sales at higher levels on very good de
mand and very light offerings. The PA Depart
ment of Agriculture graded 1344 head of heifers
and bulls at the two graded sales in Lancaster
County this week, compared to 1190 last week.
