Market information provided by USDA

Compared to last sale (9-02-26): Steer and heifer calves were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Yearling steers and heifers were also too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Demand for both calves and yearlings on light offerings was mostly good. Quality this week was mostly average and not as attractive as last week. Most offerings were in small packages or as singles which forced buyers to piece together loads. Market activity was mostly active, with a moderate crowd of buyers in the stands and a few noticed on the internet bidding. Weigh up cows sold on mostly light to moderate demand and light offerings. Feeding cow quality remains mostly plain to average. Many lame and blemished cows continue to be marketed. A few long strings of cows were seen this week. One set of fed cows were seen this week and these cattle were purchased to return to feed. Feeding cows sold generally steady in a narrow comparison. Slaughter cows sold generally steady in a narrow comparison on all classes. Slaughter bulls sold mostly generally steady. Weigh up conditions were mixed this sale with both full and empty offerings noticed. Young age offerings were too lightly tested both last sale and today to develop an accurate market trend. Demand for limited offerings was mostly good. Quality was mostly plain to average. Many young cows were fleshy coming off grass, especially if they have not calved. Most of these offerings were purchased to feed again this week.
