Compared to last week: Combined weighted average report for 2 Colorado auction markets included: Sterling Livestock and Livestock Exchange. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Feeder steers and heifers too thinly traded to trend. 950-1200 lb feeder dairy heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher on a light test. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 1.00 to 2.00 higher with instances of 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Offerings of stock cows, bred cows and cow/calf pairs were light this week. Auction markets are looking to transition out of their summer schedules in early September. The next available report will be Monday, August 22, 2022.
