Compared to last reported sale(6-5-19): All feeder cattle were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend. Feeder cattle supplies continue to be light as most ranchers have already turned out for summer. Demand for feeders was light on very light offerings. Market activity was slow. Weigh up cows sold on mostly moderate demand for heavy offerings. Packers showed mostly moderate demand for both cows for immediate harvest as well as cows to put on feed. Cow quality this week was mostly attractive, with many long strings of cows off reputation ranches. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower on boning and lean cows, breaking cows were too lightly tested to trend, as most sold to feed. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold fully steady on a very attractive offering. Young age cows less than 4 years old sold steady to 5.00 lower. Quality was not as attractive this week. Offerings destined to feed sold lower as CME positions have inched lower over the past 3 weeks. Demand for high quality cows suitable to re-breed remains good and these offerings sold steady with the last reported sale.
