Compared to last week (2-03-26): 550-699 lbs steers offered the best test this
week selling mostly 5.00-10.00 higher in a narrow comparison. All other weights
of steers were to lightly tested to develop a full market trend, however steady
to higher undertones were noticed. 500-649 lbs heifers offered the best test
this week selling mostly steady to 5.00 higher. Demand for all feeders was good
to very good on light to moderate offerings. Demand for light weight cattle
suitable to develop into yearlings was mostly very good again this week. Buyers
were willing to take steers up to 700 lbs to grass this week as flesh
conditions were mostly light. Quality this week was average to attractive. Most
cattle were offered in moderate to large size groups this week with a few load
lots noticed. Heifer demand was very good as feeders and ranchers looking for
replacements showed very good demand for heifers 600 lbs and heavier. CME
positions moved higher to start the day before slipping lower. However, demand
for feeder cattle remains very good as buyers continue to show need for all
weights of cattle. Order buyers buying for packers pushed heavy weight cattle
higher as they competed with private feeders over attractive offerings. Market
activity was mostly active this week with a larger buyer pool noticed compared
to last week. Weigh up cows sold on moderate to good demand for light
offerings. Feeding demand continues to drive the cow market as buyers all
showed good to very good demand for high quality cows to feed. Feeding cows
sold mostly steady in a very narrow comparison. Cow quality this week was
average and overall not as attractive as last weeks offering. Slaughter cows
were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however lower
undertones were noticed on all offerings. Feeding buyers showed little to no
interest in blemished cows this week which allowed packers to buy slaughter
cows lower. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested last week to develop an
accurate market trend, however steady to weak undertones were noticed. Very few
bulls feeding type bulls were seen this week. Young age cows were too lightly
tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher undertones
were noticed. Quality this week was mostly average. A large offering of bred
cows were seen this week. Demand for bred cows was very good. Quality was
average to very attractive with a few large consignments off dispersions. The
stands were filled with ranchers and they showed very good demand for all bred
cow offerings.
