Compared to last week: Receipts were light today due to cold weather seen today and snowy conditions seen yesterday. Feeder cattle were all too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Quality this sale was mostly plain. Most calves were offered in small packages or as singles. Demand for feeder cattle remains good, but quality hampered demand this sale. Market activity was slow to moderate. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand for light offerings. Packer buyers showed good demand for slaughter cows this sale. Cow quality was mostly plain to average. A large consignment of mini Herefords was seen this sale and packers showed mostly light demand for these lightweight offerings. Too few cows sold to establish a full market trend for slaughter or feeding cows, however steady to higher undertones were noticed on all offerings. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested last week to develop any market trend. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. A few heifers that lost calves have started to come to market. These offering sold at a discount open heifers and lowered the price of <2 year old stock cows.
