Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were all scarcely tested this week thus no trend is available. Heavy rain has fallen over the past week and receipts were very light as a result. Demand was light to moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly moderate demand and offerings. Packers showed significantly lighter demand for slaughter cows this week. They passed on most cows as feeding buyers continue to show strong demand. Packers purchased mostly lame or low dressing cows this sale as most cows were higher than what packers were willing to give on a dressed basis. Cows were pushing some fill this week as cooler weather and rainy conditions continue to keep cows full. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to trend, however lower undertones were noticed. Feeding cows sold steady to 3.00 lower as lighter demand from packers allowed feeders to buy cows lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to weak. Young age 2-4 year olds sold with lower undertones on a limited and lower quality offering.
