SCHEDULE 13D/A


CD Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (‘‘CD Capital’’) and John D. Ziegelman (‘‘Mr. Ziegelman,’’ and collectively with CD Capital, the ‘‘Reporting Persons’’) are jointly filing this Amendment No. 1 relating to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D with respect to Meadow Valley Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 15, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”).   


The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to (i) report a letter sent to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons on June 7, 2007, and (ii) reflect certain transactions in the Issuer’s securities by CD Capital.  Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION


Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to reflect the additional transactions set forth on Schedule A to this Amendment No. 1:


All purchases of Common Stock were made in open market transactions with investment funds in accounts under management on behalf of CD Investment, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business.  The total amount of funds expended for such purchases reflected on Schedule A to this Amendment No. 1 was approximately $374,783, which was expended entirely by CD Investment.  These amounts are in addition to the amounts previously reported.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION


Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:


On June 7, 2007, the Reporting Persons delivered to Mr. Brad Larson, the Issuer’s President and Chief Executive Officer, a letter, dated June 7, 2007 (the “June Letter”).  In the June Letter, among other things, the Reporting Persons advised the Issuer that CD Capital had voted all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of all of the Issuer’s proposals contained in the proxy statement filed by the Issuer on May 9, 2007, and did not support the shareholder proposal contained in such proxy statement to, among other things, immediately dispose of the Issuer’s Ready Mix, Inc. subsidiary and to return the proceeds to the shareholders.  A copy of the June Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated by reference herein.    


The Reporting Persons expressly hereby reaffirm the reservation of all rights to propose or take future actions as heretofore disclosed by them in this Item 4 to Schedule 13D.


ITEM 5.  INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER


Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to reflect the additional transactions in shares of Common Stock shown on Schedule A to this Amendment No. 1, as follows:


As a result of the purchases and sales of shares of Common Stock as reflected on Schedule A to this Amendment No. 1, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons increased to 290,992 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.7% of

Dear Brad


I am writing to inform you that CD Capital Management LLC has, in its capacity as Investment Advisor to CD Investment Partners, Ltd., as the Beneficial Owner of approximately 5.7% of the outstanding shares of Meadow Valley Corporation, recently voted all of its shares in favor of all of the Company’s proposals as outline in the Company Proxy Statement as filed on May 9, 2007.


As such, we do NOT support the shareholder proposal outlined in the Proxy Statement to, among other things, immediately dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, Ready Mix, Inc. and to return the proceeds to the shareholders.  We have come to this determination because we believe that the shareholder proposal, while attempting to unlock what we see as the disconnect between current market value and intrinsic value is flawed in its requirement to return the cash upon sale to the shareholders without consideration to whether the cash can be more effectively reinvested in the business.  As we have discussed with you on many occasions, because of your small market capitalization and your “two asset” existence, it is a complex situation.  Furthermore, as a public shareholder, we are not in possession of all of the relevant facts.  We trust that management and the Board do possess such facts and that you are managing our company consistent with your fiduciary duties to do so.


On a different note, we are pleased with the partial recovery in the stock price and management’s progress toward improving operating margins, while continuing to grow revenues.  We also believe there is a very strong interest in the market for construction and materials assets.  Given this fact, when the Board deems it appropriate, we would support a sale of the Company at a price of at least $18 per share, consistent with the analysis we have provided in previous letters to you (and copies of which we have previously filed with our Schedule 13D), assuming, based on information provided to all shareholders at such time, we continue to believe that such a price is fair.


As always, we are happy to discuss our thoughts with you at any time.


Regards,


/s/ John D. Ziegelman
