Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. All calves were too lightly tested to develop any market trend, as this week featured bred cows, pairs and weigh ups. Demand for calves and yearlings was moderate to good. Quality was mostly average this week. Most feeder offerings were offered in small packages with many singles noticed. A small crowd was on hand for todays feeder offering, however internet bidding was very active this sale. Market activity was active despite a light offering. Weigh up cows sold on mostly very good demand for moderate offerings. Quality this week was mostly average to attractive. Slaughter cows were all too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed on lean and boning cows. Breaking slaughter cows sold mostly 2.00 higher. Very few offerings were purchased for slaughter again this week as feeding cow buyers and replacement buyers absorbed most of the offerings. Only extremely blemished cows, not suitable to feed, were purchased for immediate harvest this week. Feeding cows sold 2.00-5.00 higher with the largest price increase seen for high quality feeding cows. Weigh conditions were mixed this week. Slaughter bulls sold unevenly as feeding bull buyers pushed to buy bulls away from packers. Bulls suitable to feed sold steady to firm on very good demand. Slaughter bulls too big to feed or unsound sold 3.00-5.00 lower in a very narrow comparison. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand for these offerings was very good with a large buyer pool bidding on offerings. Quality was mostly average to attractive. Demand was similar for both coming 3 and coming 4 year old cows. Demand for bred cows was mostly good for light offerings. Bred cow quality was average to attractive.
