REPLACEMENT CATTLE 361 78 169
FEEDER CATTLE 62 56 139
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were both too lightly tested
this week to develop any market trend. Feeder quality this week was mostly
plain to average. Demand for feeders was mostly good, despite a low quality and
light offering. Market activity was mostly moderate to active today. Weigh up
cows sold on moderate to good demand for moderate offerings. Demand for
slaughter cows was mostly moderate as packers tried to purchase a portion of
the cow offering for immediate harvest. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested
last week to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher
undertones were noticed. Feeding demand was good to very good again this week
which kept prices mostly over slaughter ticket prices. Feeding cows sold on
good to very good demand as private feeders and packer buyers both showed good
demand for high quality cows to feed. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 3.00
higher in a narrow comparison. Quality this week was average to very
attractive, and slightly better than last week. Weigh up conditions were
average to above average this week as many cows were empty coming off grass.
Slaughter bulls sold on moderate to good demand this week. Slaughter bulls sold
generally steady to 3.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Bull quality was
average to attractive this week. Young cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on
very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Most offerings sold
10.00-12.00 higher. Quality was mostly average to very attractive today. A
larger portion of the young cow offering was comprised of wet bagged cows this
week, for which buyers showed very good demand. Very little difference in price
was seen between 2 and 3 year old cows which had lost calves as demand for
rebreed and recip cows remains very good.
