Weigh up cows sold on moderate to good demand for light offerings. Feeding cows sold mostly 3.00-4.00 lower on all classes. Quality this week was mostly average to attractive. Weigh up conditions were mixed today. Fleshy cows were particularly full as many were hauled in this morning. Fewer feeding cow buyers were on hand for todays sale as lighter receipts were seen. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however lower undertones were noticed on all offerings. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Feeding bulls were scarcely tested this week as most offerings were purchased for immediate harvest. Bull quality this week was average to very attractive.
