Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves were all too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher undertones were noticed on all feeder cattle offerings. Demand was mostly good for light offerings. Quality this week was mostly plain to average today. Lots of variation was seen in quality again this week. Many blemished feeder cattle were seen this week as producers clean out pens following delivery off winter video sales. Package sizes were mostly small this week with a large portion of the offering with packages of 5 head or less. Demand for light cattle improved as differed CME feeder cattle contracts continue to inch higher. Feeder contracts have had several days of strong gains this week which helped provide support for buyers backgrounding light calves. Market activity was moderate to active this sale with bidders both ringside and over the internet actively bidding on offerings. Weigh up cows sold on good to very good demand for light to moderate offerings. Regional packers and major packers continue to push to own high quality offerings. Major packers purchased cows mostly to feed while regional packers purchased cows to slaughter. Demand for both slaughter and feeding cows was good to very good this week as a result. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-4.00 higher on breaking cows, boning cows sold generally steady to 3.00 higher. Lean slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop any market trend as most offerings were purchased to feed. Feeding cows sold mostly 1.00-3.00 higher on all offerings. Weigh up conditions were mostly below average today and similar to last week. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher in a narrow comparison. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold generally steady in a narrow comparison. Quality this week was mixed from plain to attractive.
