Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were all scarcely tested again this week thus no trend is available. Rain has finally slowed and allowed ranchers to brand. Demand for feeders was light on very light offerings. Quality this week was plain. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand today as packers and feeding buyers both showed good demand for cows. Packers opted to send most of the cow offering to feed this week. Many cows were short term feeding cows that packers are stashing away for the week of July 4th. Cow quality this week was attractive to very attractive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher on lean and boning cows, breaking cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher. Feeding buyers purchased most of the fleshy cows to send to feed. Feeding cows sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher as many buyers were in the market bidding on offerings. Slaughter bulls sold unevenly steady. Packers wanted to buy bulls lower this week and they started out the sale lower, however demand for bulls remains good and by the end of the sale bulls were higher than last week. Bulls sold 1.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Young age cows sold higher as re-breed demand continues to help push these offerings higher. Quality was average to attractive this week. Offerings were mostly light.
