Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, with 500-700 lb steers selling steady to 3.00 higher, over 700 lbs were not well tested but traded with a weak to lower undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-650 lbs sold mostly 3.00-5.00 lower, with a pot load of heifers weighing 695 lbs off the same consignment as last week selling 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Best demand was on feeder steers weighing 500-700 lbs with a nice quality offering. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. CME cattle futures on Monday showed some light gains on a positive note, after last week's losses.
