Weigh up cows sold on mostly good to very good demand for light offerings. Packer buyers showed significanly stronger demand for slaughter cows this sale as they bid on very limited offerings. Slaughter cows were too lightly tested to trend, however higher to sharply higher undertones were noticed. Slaughter bulls were too lightly tested to trend, however higher undertones were noticed. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed were too lightly tested to develop a full market trend, higher undertones were noticed as slaughter buyers pushed all offerings higher.
