Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower. Cow offerings were slightly heavier this week with several sets of fed cows on offer. Packers showed mostly moderate demand for fed cows, however some of these offerings were pushing heavy amounts of fill this week. Several sets of fed cows were purchased to return to feed this week. Feeding cows sold steady to 1.00 lower as well. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested last week to develop an accurate market however steady to lower undertones were noticed. Overall weigh up conditions this week were mostly average. 2 year old to young age cows were too lightly tested to develop any market trend. Moderate demand was seen this week for these offerings.
