Compared to last week: Feeder calves were scarcely tested this week, thus a full market trend isn't available, however lower undertones were noticed. Quality this week was mostly plain to average and was a big drag on demand. Additionally most cattle were offered in small groups and many buyers were not willing to start loads due to light offerings and no other sales this week to fill out loads. Market activity was mostly slow to moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand for moderate offerings. Packers were very aggressive as they bid on offerings for both immediate harvest and to feed. Slaughter cows sold generally steady to firm on all classes. Packers pushed to own as much of the cow offering as possible again this week. Packers continue to put high quality feeding cows away on feed. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to below average this week. Slaughter bulls sold generally steady in a narrow comparison. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold generally steady. Quality this week was average to attractive. Many sets of cattle are being purchased to feed as most are just not starting to turn 2 years old. Demand for young cows that lost calves continues to be good as well as order buyers ask to sort heifers from wet bagged cows.
