Lean cows sold with steady to firm undertones. Feeding cow demand was very good again this week. Canadian cow feeders remain a large player in all auction markets pushing packer buyers to own high quality feeding cows.

Feeding cows sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher on all cows suitable to feed. Ranches continue to brand and sort off dry cows and bring them to market this has helped increase cows supplies.
