Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were too lightly tested today to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to firm undertones were notice on all offerings. Quality this week was mostly average and not as attractive as last week. Most yearlings were offered in a small groups with no load lots seen this week. Demand for all yearlings was mostly good despite a lower quality offering. Offerings were light. Market activity was mostly active with a good crowd in the seats and several buyers actively bidding over the internet. Weigh up cows sold on good demand for light to moderate offerings. Demand for feeding cows was very good. While prices were lower on paper for lean cows, quality this week on many sets were significantly lower. Several large packages of low dressing, thin fleshed, blemished cows were purchased to feed this week. High quality, non blemished, feeding cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher in a narrow comparison. All cows were pushing light to moderate amounts of fill today. Very few cows were purchased for slaughter this week as very good feeding demand kept cow prices above slaughter cow tickets and packers passed and allowed private feeders to purchase most of these cows. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed. Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Packer buyers purchased a large portion of the bull offering for feed this week. Feeding bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Young cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested to develop any market trend.
