Market Notes

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were not tested last week due to the annual Northland stock cow sale, therefore no comparisons can be made. Feeder cattle sold on mostly moderate demand for light offerings. Quality this week was plain to average and most calves were offered in small lots or as singles. A small buyer pool was on hand for todays sale. Market activity was slow to moderate. Weigh up cows sold on light to moderate demand and offerings. Slaughter cows sold generally steady on all offerings in a narrow comparison. Feeding cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested last sale to develop an accurate market trend, steady undertones were noticed.

Supply included: 45% Feeder Cattle (40% Steers, 58% Heifers, 2% Bulls); 42% Slaughter Cattle (96% Cows, 4% Bulls); 13% Replacement Cattle (81% Stock Cows, 19% Bred Cows).
