Compared to last week: Yearling steers were too lightly tested develop an
accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Yearling heifers
all sold unevenly steady from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher in a narrow comparison.
Offerings were smaller this week making it difficult for some buyers to start
loads. Many small packages of yearling heifers were seen this week. A single
load lot of steers was seen this week, and it was met with very good demand.
Quality was mostly average to attractive, however quality overall was not as
attractive as last weeks sale. CME positions continue to rebound with
additional triple digit gains seen today following yesterdays limit higher
movement. Market activity was mostly active with rapid bidding seen. 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 average this week. Feeding
cow demand remains very good with a large pool of feeding buyers actively
bidding on offerings. Feeding cows were too lightly tested to develop an
accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed on all offerings.
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.
Several sets of cows sold exposed and buyers showed strong premiums for these
offerings.
