Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers were too lightly tested
develop any market trend. Steer calves over 450 lbs offered the best
comparisons this week selling sharply higher, in a narrow comparison. Heifer
calves were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend,
however higher to sharply higher undertones were noticed. Demand was mostly
good to very good for moderate offerings. Several load lots of calves were seen
this sale and demand was good to very good for these offerings. Packages of
calves sold on good demand as well as a large crowd was on hand with many
buyers actively bidding on offerings. Quality was mostly attractive to very
attractive with many reputation ranches offering calves this week. CME
positions traded with triple digit gains again today which helped provide
additional market support. Market activity was mostly active with many order
buyers, ranchers and farmer feeders in the stands rapidly bidding on calves.
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 sold steady to 2.00 higher in a
narrow comparison. Slaughter bulls and feeding bulls both sold generally
steady. Good demand was seen for both feeding and slaughter bulls this week.
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. Young age replacement cows were too lightly tested last
week to develop any market trend.
