Compared to last week: All feeder cattle were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Quality was mostly plain to average today. Most feeders were offered in small packages or as singles. Demand for limited feeders was good to very good. Market activity was mostly moderate to active today with a large pool of buyers both ringside as well as over the internet actively bidding on offerings. Weigh up cows comprised most of the sale today. Demand was mostly good to very good for heavy offerings. A very large pool of cow buyers were on hand for todays sale as 12 buyers were active in buying cows both ringside as well as over the internet. Cow quality this sale was mostly average to attractive. Most cows were purchased to go to feed in some capacity. High quality feeding cows, suitable to feed to premium white sold mostly 4.00-6.00 higher. Thin, short term feeding cows which were purchased to feed for the holidays sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher. Many low yielding, slightly lame, or slightly blemished cows were purchased for this purpose. Slaughter cow demand was stronger today as buyers showed need for cows for immediate harvest, however very few cows were purchased to slaughter as a large pool of feeding cow buyers pushed cow prices above slaughter orders. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed on all classes. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 7.00-11.00 higher. Packer and feeding buyers both showed good demand for all bulls on offer. Feeding bulls sold mostly 5.00-8.00 higher. Bull quality was average to very attractive today and much more attractive than the last few sales. Weigh up conditions were mostly average today for both cows and bulls. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold mostly steady to 5.00 higher. Front end high quality offerings sold higher while the bulk of the offering sold fully steady. Demand from rebreed buyers remains good to very good, especially for light weight offerings. Quality this week was average to attractive.
