Buyers have been quiet this week with the exception of automotive tanners that are looking for heavy native steers (HNS) and butt branded steers (BBS). HNS traded $0.50 down from yesterday and most sellers are in low supply of the material. BBS sold $1 higher than last traded but sellers stated the incoming production of BBS and Colorado branded steers are likely to be firm in the fall months.
A big packer released their offer list for this week with several items available with September and October shipment.
A few processors reported difficulty to sell cow hides and they had not seen much demand from automotive tanners.
