Compared to last sale: Steer calves weighing less than 500 lbs were too lightly tested to develop a full market trend, however steady undertones were noticed; 500-649 lbs steers sold mostly 3.00-6.00 lower in a narrow comparison. Steers weighing over 650 lbs sold with steady undertones. Heifer calves weighing less than 450 lbs sold with higher undertones in a narrow comparison; 450-649 lbs heifers sold mostly 2.00-4.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Load lots of calves were limited this sale, however demand was mostly good for limited offerings. Calves this week were mostly offered in small to medium size packages. Demand for calves was mostly moderate this week. Quality was mostly average this week and not as attractive as last week. Market activity this week was mostly moderate to active. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand. Packer buyers showed significantly more demand this week for cows destined for immediate harvest. Slaughter cows sold mostly 5.00-8.00 higher on all classes. Feeding demand was mostly good this week as well. Feeding cow sold mostly 5.00-8.00 higher. Packers and feeding buyers both showed good to very good demand for feeding quality cows. Cow quality was mostly average to attractive this week. Several sets of fed cows were seen this week. These cows were met with very good demand. A large part of the offering this week was comprised of bred cows and heifers. Bred cattle sold on mostly good demand throughout the sale. The stands were packed with ranchers throughout the afternoon which helped create a very active market. Packers and feeding buyers helped sustain the bottom of the aged cow market as many cows sold to packers and feeding buyers to feed or slaughter. Young age cows suitable to re-breed were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however lower to sharply lower undertones were noticed.
