Compared to last reported sale (8/08/23): Feeder cattle were all too lightly tested either last sale to today to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed on steers and steady to firm undertones were noticed on heifers. Demand was mostly very good for light offerings. Quality this sale was mostly average. Cattle continue to offer buyers mostly light flesh as pasture and range conditions are in mostly poor condition due to late summer heat and grasshoppers. Market activity was mostly active this week. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand for light offerings. Cow and bull body condition scores continue to deteriorate as poor pasture and range conditions are weighing on all animals that are turned out. Breaking cows were not well compared. Boning and lean cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower in a narrow comparison on a lower yielding offering than was seen three weeks ago. Feeding cows were not well compared as packer buyers purchased cows only to slaughter this week which kept comparisons narrow. However, steady to weak undertones were noticed on a lower quality offering. Slaughter bulls sold generally steady. Weigh up conditions were average to below average as most cows were pushing fill. Young age cows were too lightly tested to trend. fewer takers were seen for this class of cows this week.
