Compared to last sale(6-12-25): Feeder steer and heifer calves were all too
lightly tested last sale to develop any market trend. Demand was mostly good to
very good for light offerings. Quality this week was mostly plain to average.
Many blemished offerings continue to be seen as buyers clean up cattle before
turning them out on grass. The bulk of the feeder offering was comprised of
fall calves. Calves were mixed for weaning status this week. Demand for cutting
bulls remains very good as several buyers were searching for bulls to cut and
make steers, while others were searching for bulls to semen test, and turn out
with cows. Market activity was active with good participation noticed both
ringside and over the internet. Weigh up cows comprised most of the offering
this week. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand for light to moderate
offerings. A larger portion of the cow offering was purchased for harvest this
week as packers gear up for the 4th of July holiday. Slaughter cows were too
lightly tested last sale to develop an accurate market trend, however higher
undertones were noticed on all offerings. Demand for feeding cows was good to
very good. Feeding cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Cow quality this week was
mostly average to attractive and similar to last sale. Weigh up conditions were
mixed this week, but overall cows offered buyers an average to above average
weigh up. Slaughter bulls sold on mostly moderate to good demand for moderate
offerings. Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Young age cows
suitable to feed or rebreed sold on mostly good demand. Quality this week was
mostly average to very attractive. Young age cows sold 10.00-15.00 higher on a
much more attractive offering.
