Compared to last sale: Yearling steers and heifers were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Demand for yearlings remains mostly good. Feeder steers and heifer calves were all too lightly tested last sale to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed. Quality this week was mostly plain to average. Demand was mostly light to moderate for light offerings. Market activity this week was mostly moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand. Packers were very active this week as they pushed to purchase the majority of cows in the offering. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher on all classes. The cutter cow cutout continues to inch higher. Notably, many bred cows sold to packers to feed or to send to intimidate harvest this week as packer demand was strong enough to purchase lower quality bred cows away from ranchers this sale. The cutter cow cutout as of today's close was 187.18, 0.42 higher than Wednesdays. Feeding cows sold mostly 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady to firm in a narrow comparison. Young age cows suitable to re-breed sold generally steady this week.
