Compared to last week: Feeder steers were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Feeder heifers were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however weak undertones were noticed. Quality this week was mostly average. The majority of feeders were offered in small to moderate size packages. Demand was mostly light to moderate for light offerings. CME positions showed strong positive movement today as the august through October added from 1.00 to 1.175. Market activity was slow to moderate. Weigh up cows comprised the majority of the sale today. Ranchers continue to sell cull cows as branding season is well underway. Cow quality this week was average to very attractive, however overall quality was not as attractive as last week. Weigh up conditions were mixed this week, and overall not as attractive to buyers as some cows were pushing fill. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher on all classes. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Multiple feeding buyers were very active this week purchasing cows to feed. This created a very active market. Overall demand for cows was mostly good on moderate to heavy offerings. Slaughter bulls sold firm. Young age cows suitable to feed or re-breed sold unevenly. Demand for high quality offerings suitable to feed continues to be moderate to good, however average quality and feeding quality young cows sold on light to moderate demand. Young cow quality this week was mixed from plain to attractive.
