Market Notes

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were too lightly tested this week to develop any market trend. Quality this week was average on a very limited offering. Demand was moderate to good for very light offerings. Market activity this week was mostly moderate to active. Lots of cancellations were seen this week sub-zero temperatures and snow covered roads hindered ranchers from sending offerings to town. Weigh up cows sold on mostly good demand for light to moderate offerings. The majority of the cow offering was comprised of fed cows. Most of these offerings had been on feed for over 100 days and fed grain. Demand for fed cows was very good, however buyers continue to send these cows back to the country to add extra weight and ensure most of them grade premium white. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to higher undertones were noticed. Packers showed good demand for all cows for harvest this week. Packers opted to send several sets of bred cows to slaughter or feed. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however steady to firm undertones were noticed. Bull quality was mostly average week. All cows and bulls were pushing excess fill as extremely cold temperatures were seen. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on good demand. Most of todays offering were all off one ranch.

Supply included: 8% Feeder Cattle (25% Steers, 63% Heifers, 13% Bulls); 50% Slaughter Cattle (82% Cows, 18% Bulls); 43% Replacement Cattle (100% Stock Cows). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 12%.
