Compared to last week: Yearling steers were too lightly tested develop any
market trend. Yearling heifers sold generally steady in a narrow comparison.
Calves were too lightly tested last week to develop any market comparison.
Demand was mostly good to very good for light to moderate offerings. Many small
packages of yearling heifers were seen this week. Quality was mostly average to
attractive with most offerings coming off grass. CME positions traded with
triple digit gains today which helped provide some market support. Market
activity was mostly active. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand.
Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Cow quality
was mostly plain to average this week and not as attractive as last weeks
offering. Feeding cow demand remains very good with a large pool of feeding
buyers actively bidding on offerings. Feeding cows sold generally steady on a
lower quality lower yielding offering. Slaughter bulls and feeding bulls both
sold generally steady. Demand for feeding bulls was very good as packers opted
to send most of the bulls to feed to regain some of the yield lost during
breeding season. Demand for all replacement cows was very good. Buyers showed
good demand for all ages of cows to return to the country to pregnancy test, or
put in a rebreeding program.
