Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were both too lightly tested 
to develop any market trend. Demand was mostly moderate to good for very light 
offerings. Quality this week was mostly plain to average. Demand for cutting 
bulls remains very good as several buyers were looking for bulls to cut and 
make steers. Market activity was mostly active today. Weigh up cows comprised 
the majority of the offering this week. Demand was mostly good to very good for 
light to moderate offerings. Demand for slaughter cows was slightly stronger

cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however 
higher undertones were noticed. Very good demand was seen for feeding cows this 
week with a large buyer pool on hand for todays sale. Quality this week was 
mostly attractive to very attractive, however offerings were overall not as 
attractive as last week. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to above 
average, however weigh up conditions were not as attractive as last weeks sale. 
Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher, with the largest increases seem 
in low dressing cows as private feeders opted to feed cows with blemishes. 
Slaughter bulls sold on mostly good demand this week. Packers showed strong 
demand for bulls as this is the last sale prior to the 4th of July holiday. 
Slaughter bulls sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Bull quality was attractive this 
week and overall more attractive than last week. A portion of the bull offering 
was purchased to feed again this week, mostly by private feeders. Feeding bulls 
sold mostly generally steady. Young cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on 
very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Young offerings sold steady 
to firm in a narrow comparison. Quality was mostly average to attractive this 
week. Very little difference in price was seen between high quality 2 and 3 
year old cows which had lost calves as demand for rebreed and recip cows 
remains very good.
