12 JUN '25

Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves were all too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market trend, however higher to sharply higher undertones were noticed on all offerings. Demand was mostly good to very good for light to moderate offerings. Quality this week was mixed from plain to attractive. The bulk of the feeder offering was comprised of fall calves. Most calves were weaned from 45-60 days. Demand improved significantly as additional buyers entered the market and started loads. This led to wide price spreads at times. Demand for black hided calves was very good. Demand for cutting bulls remains very good as several buyers were searching for bulls to cut and make steers. Market activity was active with good participation noticed both ringside and over the internet. Weigh up cows sold on moderate to good demand for moderate offerings. Slaughter cows sold on mostly light to moderate demand. Too few cows were purchased for slaughter to develop any market trend. Demand for feeding cows was good to very good which kept cow prices mostly above slaughter ticket prices. Feeding cows sold 1.00-3.00 higher. Cow quality this week was mostly average to attractive and similar to last week. Weigh up conditions were mixed this week, but overall cows offered buyers an average to above average weigh up. Slaughter bulls sold on mostly moderate to good demand for moderate to heavy offerings. Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on mostly good demand. Quality this week was mostly plain to average. Many young cows which never calved continue to be seen. These offerings are selling at a discount to wet bagged offerings. Very few true wet bagged offerings were seen again this week. True wet bag offerings sell at similar prices for 2 or 3 year offerings. Young age cows sold generally steady. Demand for young feeding cows was very good this sale as several buyers were looking for large offerings with some flesh to finish quickly. Several large consignments of bred cows and pairs was seen this week. Demand for all replacement stock was good to very good. Quality was average to attractive.
