Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed on the steers, and steady to higher undertones were noticed on the heifers. Quality was mostly plain to average this week with most feeders offered in small packages. Demand was moderate for light offerings. Market activity this week was mostly moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand, with very good demand seen at times. Offerings were light. Quality was average to attractive. Packers continue to drive the market this week as a winter storm across much of the western corn belt has packers pushing to find cows for harvest. Slaughter cows sold mostly 1.00-4.00 higher on boning and lean cows, breaking cows were too lightly tested to trend. With packers searching for cows for immediate harvest, feeding cow buyers were forced to pay higher prices in order to secure offerings. Feeding cows sold mostly 2.00-5.00 higher on all ages of cows. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 2.00-4.00 higher as packers showed good demand for all slaughter offerings.
