Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand for light offerings. Feeding demand continues to drive the cow market as buyers all showed very good demand for high quality cows to feed. Feeding cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher. Buyers showed very good demand for thin cows with quick compensatory gain. Cow quality this week was average to attractive and overall more attractive than last weeks offering.
