Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on all classes of steers for a market trend, but a lower undertone was noted on heavier weight yearlings. Heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 7.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Quality was mixed. A really nice set replacement quality heifers with a good weigh up sold with notable buyer demand, as some producers are slowly trying to increase their herds.

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on all classes of steers for a market trend, but a lower undertone was noted on heavier weight yearlings. Heifers traded mostly 5.00 to 7.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Quality was mixed. A really nice set replacement quality heifers with a good weigh up sold with notable buyer demand, as some producers are slowly trying to increase their herds. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 higher. Hotter than average temperatures have returned to the forecast, with a much needed chance of rain forecasted later this week.
