Compared to last week: Area was hit with much needed rainfall this week reflecting in the receipts. Steers 700-950 lbs 7.00-9.00 lower; 700 lbs and under much lower in a limited supply. Heifers 350-850 lbs lower undertone noted not enough for a market test. Trade and demand moderate. Today's market felt the continued pressure of the downward turn in the CME board.
