Compared to last week: Feeder steer calves under 450 lbs were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to weak undertones were noticed on a lower quality offering. Steers 450-500 lbs sold mostly 10.00 higher, steers 500-649 lbs steers sold generally steady; steers over 650 lbs were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Heifer calves under 400 lbs were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady undertones were noticed. Heifers 400-550 lbs sold mostly 3.00-10.00 higher; heifer calves over 550 lbs sold mostly steady to 5.00 lower. Yearling steers and heifers were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Demand was mostly good to very good for all calves on offer. Offerings were moderate. Quality today was mixed from plain to very attractive. A slightly smaller buyer pool was on hand for todays sale compared to last week, however despite fewer buyers, participation was good with many bidders actively bidding on offering. A few farmer feeders were in the stands again this week. Several were looking for heifers to develop into replacements. Package sizes varied greatly again this week. Fewer load lots were seen, however buyers were content to piece together loads as demand remains good to very good for all offerings. Demand for light weight calves suitable to go to grass was very good again today. The best demand for calves to go to grass was for 400-550 lbs for steers and 375-525 lbs for heifers. Market activity was active this sale with buyers rapidly bidding on offerings. Weigh up cows sold on moderate demand and heavy offerings. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-5.00 higher on all classes in a narrow comparison. Feeding cows sold with the best demand again this week. Feeding cows sold with steady to 3.00 higher undertones. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, steady to higher undertones were noticed. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed on a higher quality offering. Quality was mostly average to very attractive today. Over 100 head of 1 iron home raised cows sold all off one ranch and these offerings sold with very good demand as quality was very attractive.
