Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Feeder cattle were scarcely tested this week. Quality was mostly plain, and mostly offered in small packages or as singles. Market activity was mostly moderate as quality and light volume limited demand. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand for moderate offerings. Demand for slaughter cows was good however, most offerings were purchased to feed. Cow quality today was attractive to very attractive with many sets of very high quality cows off reputation ranches. Cow quality this week was better than last week. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 1.00 higher on all classes. Packers and private buyers both showed very good demand for cows to feed. Feeding cows sold mostly 2.00-3.00 higher on cows suitable to feed to premium white. Lean and light boning short term feeding cows sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 5.00-6.00 higher. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to above average today with most cows emptied out from being out grazing. Yielding conditions were higher this week as cows on offer were emptier and heavier muscled compared to last week. Young cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower. Fewer buyers were in the market this week searching for cows suitable to rebreed. Quality was average to attractive, but not as attractive as last week. It is getting late in the season to buy cows to rebreed as most cows purchased today would calve in late March or early April at the earliest. Demand was light to moderate.
