FEEDER CATTLE 239 324 217
REPLACEMENT CATTLE 252 177 298
SLAUGHTER CATTLE 422 584 547
Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were too lightly tested to develop any
market trend. Demand for feeders was good for light offerings. Quality this
week was mostly plain to average. Demand for cutting bulls remains very good as
several buyers continue to purchase bulls to cut and make steers. Market
activity was active with buyers all bidding rapidly. Weigh up cows and bulls
comprised most of the sale today. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand as
this is the last opportunity for buyers to buy cows and bulls before the 4th of
July holiday. Very few cows were purchased for immediate slaughter as demand
for feeding cows remains very good and kept prices mostly above slaughter cow
purchase orders. Slaughter cows sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher on breaking cows
in a narrow comparison. Boning and lean cows were too lightly tested to develop
a full market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Feeding cows sold
on mostly good to very good demand. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 2.00
higher. Cow quality this week was mostly average to attractive. Weigh up
conditions were mostly average to above average. Slaughter bulls sold mostly
steady to 3.00 higher, with the largest price increase seen for average to
below average yielding bulls. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold
generally steady to firm in a narrow comparison. The calendar continues to work
against the young cow market as many buyers want to have cows out with bulls by
this time of year. Demand for fleshy young cows which will finish quickly was
mostly good as buyers hope to blend these fleshy offerings onto market ready
loads. Quality this week was mostly average.
