Compared to last week: Feeder cattle offerings were scarcely tested today as todays sale featured pairs, bred cows and weigh up cows. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand for light offerings. Packers showed very good demand for cows for immediate harvest with cows going to slaughter in several different states. Cows sold on mostly good demand for light to moderate offerings. Several packer buyers were present today with some buying over the internet. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-5.00 higher on all classes of cows going to harvest. Feeding cows sold mostly steady to 3.00 higher, in a narrow comparison. Cow quality was average to attractive today. Weigh up conditions were mostly average to above average as many cows have been out on grass and were empty at sale time. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00-5.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Very good demand was seen for bulls for immediate slaughter. Young age cows sold mostly 5.00 higher. Cows which lost calves sold with the best demand this week. Feeding quality cows sold at a discount to cows suitable to rebreed. Quality this week was mostly average to attractive. A light offering of bred cows and pairs was seen today. Quality was mostly average. Many pairs were in thin flesh and high very light calves at side. With rain seen over the last few days demand for pairs was mostly moderate as buyers seemed reluctant to bid on young, light weight calves.
