Market activity this week was mostly active with a good crowd on hand actively bidding on offerings. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand again this week. Packers showed a desire to own the majority of the cows in the offering, buying both slaughter and feeding cows this week. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
