July 25 RECEIPTS This Week Last Week Last Year 329,600 632,500 396,700 Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold weak to 2.00 lower in the Southeast while the North-Central and South-Central areas sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good for feeder cattle immediately destined for feedyards, while demand for calves was mostly light to moderate as this summer’s heat is turning up the dial with many places in MO, OK, KS and TX having triple digit tempera- tures without figuring in the heat index. As reported in OK, the summer feeder run appears to be getting close to finishing as those cattle move off dry grass. The cow runs continue to be the talk of the market as cow-calf states are feeling the brunt of limited moisture in the last 6 months to a year, some states longer than that.

All cows and heifers that have calved was estimated at 39.8 million head, two percent less than a year ago.

All heifers 500 pounds and over came in at 15.6 million head. Steers 500 pounds and over were down one percent at 14.4 million head. Bulls 500 pounds and over were unchanged at 2 million head. Calves under 500 pounds totaled 27 million head, three percent less than last year. This year’s calf crop is estimated at 34.6 million head, one percent less than a year ago. This month’s cattle on feed report was also published on Friday. Cattle on feed on July 1 was estimated at 11.3 million head, slightly higher than a year ago. Of that total, 6.9 million were steers, one percent less than last year and 4.45 million head were heifers, three percent more than a year ago. Marketings for June totaled 2.06 million head, two percent more than a year ago. Total red meat supplies in freezers were down 1 percent from the previous month but up 24 percent from last year.
