Compared to last week: All feeder calves and yearling steers were too lightly tested last week to develop any market trend. Yearling heifers sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher on all heifers over 800 lbs, heifers under 800 lbs were too lightly tested to develop a full market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Quality this week was mixed from plain to very attractive. Demand was mostly moderate to good. Heifer quality was better than steer quality as many sets of open replacement heifers were seen. Most feeders were offered in small to moderate size packages; however a few load lots or partial load lots were seen. CME positions inched higher over the last week. Market activity this week was mostly active, with good participation seen from bidders both ringside as well as over the internet. Weigh up cows and bulls sold on mostly moderate demand for light offerings. Packers showed lighter demand for slaughter cows as they tried to buy offerings mostly lower, however stronger demand from feeding cow buyers and light offerings helped keep cow prices from sliding sharply lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher on breaking and boning cows, lean cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeding cow demand was good to very good. Feeding cows sold steady to firm. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand for feeding bulls was lighter this week as only packers opted to put bulls on feed. Feeding bulls sold 7.00-9.00 lower. Cow and bull quality this week was mostly average and but not as attractive as the previous week. Weigh conditions were mixed, but mostly below average as many sets of cattle were pushing moderate to heavy amounts of fill, especially on hot sale days. Cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Demand for limited offerings remains good.
