Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were both too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Demand was mostly moderate to good for very light offerings. Quality this week was mostly plain to average. Demand for cutting bulls remains very good as several buyers were looking for bulls to cut and make steers. Market activity was mostly active today. Weigh up cows comprised the majority of the offering this week. Demand was mostly good to very good for light to moderate offerings. Demand for slaughter cows was slightly stronger this week as this is the last sale prior to the 4th of July holiday. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Very good demand was seen for feeding cows this week with a large buyer pool on hand for todays sale. Quality this week was mostly attractive to very attractive, however offerings were overall not as attractive as last week. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to above average, however weigh up conditions were not as attractive as last weeks sale. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher, with the largest increases seem in low dressing cows as private feeders opted to feed cows with blemishes. Slaughter bulls sold on mostly good demand this week. Packers showed strong demand for bulls as this is the last sale prior to the 4th of July holiday. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher.

Young offerings sold steady to firm in a narrow comparison. Quality was mostly average to attractive this week. Very little difference in price was seen between high quality 2 and 3 year old cows which had lost calves as demand for rebreed and recip cows remains very good.
