Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were not well tested, however
undertones were sharply higher. Steer and heifer calves were 10.00-15.00 higher
with spots 20.00 higher. Demand was good on a very light supply. Excessive heat
warnings remain across the area, keeping receipts lighter than normal. Most
areas have seen very little rain for the month of July, which has added stress
to the pastures on thin Ozarks soils. With the heat index above 110 degrees, it
brings to mind a phrase from the late market reporter, Dave Smith: "The only
movement of cattle in this weather is towards the shade." Forecasters are
calling for cooler temperatures and lower humidity towards the weekend which
will be welcomed by both men and beast. Even with the heat, new record high
prices continue to be reported every day. A very bullish Cattle on Feed report
came out Friday, reporting Inventories down 2 percent, Placements down 8
percent and Marketings down 5 percent.
