Compared to last reported sale: Feeder cattle were all too lightly tested this week and last reported sale to develop any market trend. Quality this sale was mostly plain to average with a few offerings of very attractive replacement quality heifers seen. Demand was mostly good to very good for light offerings. Cattle were offered in mostly small packages or as singles. Market activity was mostly active this week. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Slaughter cows were sold mostly 5.00-8.00 higher on all classes. Packers showed good demand for both feeding and slaughter cows today as they pushed to own as many offerings as possible. Feeding cows sold mostly 5.00-7.00 higher. Rain fell across many locations in the southern plains as the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles as well as portions of Northern New Mexico and Kansas all received much needed rain. This has helped slow some cow culling and tightened supplies forcing packers to become more aggressive as they search for cows to cover slaughter needs. Culling from spring brandings is starting to wrap up across much of the country further tightening the availability of cows to the packer. Packers continue to be aggressive as they try to put cows away on feed for the 4th of July holiday. Slaughter bulls sold 7.00-8.00 higher on very good demand. Demand for feeding bulls remains good. Cow and bull quality was mostly attractive to very attractive this week. Weigh up conditions were average to above average this week as many cows have been out on grass and were emptied out on fresh green grass. Young age cows sold mostly 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand for young age cows was very good this week. Several buyers purchased cows up to 6 years old to rebreed and much of the advancement in this class was seen for 3-6 year old cows.
