Compared to last week: Feeder calves were scarcely tested this week thus no trend on feed cattle is available. Demand for limited offerings was moderate to good. Quality was mostly plain and cattle were offered mostly as singles. Market activity was mostly moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Packers were very aggressive as they bid on offerings for immediate harvest. Packers pushed to own as many of the cow offering as possible, pushing all offerings higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher on all classes. Packers continue to put high quality feeding cows away on feed. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 3.00 higher as well as the whole cow complex rose on increased packer demand. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to below average this week. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 3.00-4.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Packers showed very good demand for high dressing bulls this week. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested last week to develop a full market trend, however steady to weak undertones were noticed. Quality this week was average to attractive.
