Compared to last sale (6-30-21): Feeder cattle were too lightly tested last sale to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher undertones were noticed on both steers and heifers. Quality this week was average to attractive. Several sets of un-weaned calves were seen this week. Most were split off pairs that would not bring enough to leave as a pair. Demand was mostly good for yearlings and light to moderate for calves. Market activity was mostly active this week. Weigh up cows continue to comprised most of the sale as drought conditions are driving cows to market. Packers showed stronger demand for both feeding and slaughter cows this week. The cutter cow cutout continues to climb despite very high slaughter volumes for cows and bulls in the region. The cutter cow cutout settled today at 230.13. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher on all classes, however the biggest advance was seen for fleshy, breaking cows as packers search for fat to blend down heavy lean supplies. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Packers continue to put cows away on feed as many worry heavy supplies early in the season will lead to tighter supplies in the fall. Slaughter bulls generally steady to weak. Weigh up conditions were mostly below average this sale as most cows were pushing heavy amounts of fill. Young age cows sold generally steady. Many sets of young cows sold to packers this week as demand for feeding cows was significantly stronger than demand for re-breed cattle. Cow calf pairs sold on light to moderate demand this sale, however demand was slightly stronger than the last few sales.
