Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were not well compared. Steers all sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers under 400 lbs were not well compared steady to firm undertones were noticed. 400-649 lbs heifers sold 3.00-4.00 higher, 650-699 lbs heifers sold 4.00-8.00 higher; heavier weights of heifers were not well compared, higher undertones were noticed. Quality this week was mixed from plain to attractive. Demand was mostly moderate to good for moderate offerings. Good demand continues to be seen for all cattle suitable to run on grass. Market activity was mostly active today. Weigh up cows and bulls were all too lightly tested to develop any market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Packers showed very good demand for all cows and bulls on offer as they pushed for fill both feeding and slaughter loads for the week.
