Market Notes

Compared to last week: The best test for steers was for 650-699 lbs which sold generally steady. All other steer weights were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Heifers were too lightly tested this sale and last to develop a full market trend, steady to higher undertones were noticed. Quality this week was average to attractive. Several load lots were seen again this week and were met with moderate to good demand; packages of calves sold on light to moderate demand. Extremely cold temperatures continue to hold across much of the center of the country this limited demand from cornbelt states. Market activity was mostly active this week. Weigh up cows and bulls were scarcely traded last week. No trend can be established. Demand for slaughter cows was very good this week as packers pushed cows sharply higher. Weigh up conditions were average this week. 2 year old to young age cows suitable to rebreed sold with moderate to good demand. Most of these offerings recently lost calves.

Supply included: 89% Feeder Cattle (67% Steers, 33% Heifers); 5% Slaughter Cattle (95% Cows, 5% Bulls); 6% Replacement Cattle (23% Stock Cows, 52% Bred Cows, 25% Bred Heifers). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 64%.
