Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were too lightly tested either this week or last week to develop any market trend. Demand was mostly good for very light offerings.

Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand for moderate to heavy offerings. Some seasonal culling led to heavy cow and bull supplies as ranchers opted to sell open cows while market conditions remain in their favor. Demand for slaughter cows was good however, however packers opted to send most offerings to feed and only sent very poor or blemished cows to immediate harvest. Cow quality today was attractive to very attractive with many sets of high quality cows off reputation ranches. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to firm. Packers and private buyers both showed very good demand for cows as tight supplies and high demand continue to be seen. Packers opted to put a small portion of the thin cow offering on feed to hold for the upcoming 4th of July holiday. High quality feeding cows sold mostly 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed. Weigh up conditions were mostly above average today with most cows emptied out from being out grazing. Yielding conditions continue to show seasonal improvement. Historically, cows sold in June offer buyers the highest yields of the year. Young cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold generally steady. Quality was average to attractive.
