Compared to last week: Yearling cattle were all too lightly tested to develop
any market trend. Yearling quality was mostly plain to average. Most yearlings
were cut backs off summer video sales. Despite a lower quality offering demand
remains very good. Steer calves under 550 lbs sold mostly 15.00-20.00 higher,
while steer calves over 550 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550
lbs sold mostly 5.00-15.00 higher. Heifer calves over 550 lbs were too lightly
tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were
noticed. Demand was good to very good for all calves on offer. Quality this
week was mostly average to very attractive for calves. Heavyweight calves were
more attractive than lightweight calves this sale. Calves were mostly offered
in small to moderate size packages. No load lots were seen this sale. Heifer
demand was slightly uneven compared to steer demand. A large buyer pool was on
hand for todays sale. Market activity was mostly active with a good mix of
order buyers, farmer feeders and very active internet buyers. Weigh up cows and
bulls were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however
steady undertones were noticed on feeding cows, slaughter cows and slaughter
bulls. Demand was mostly moderate for light offerings. Weigh up conditions were
mostly below average as many cows were very full. Cow and bull quality today
was mostly average.
