As filed

Compared to last week's active market, steer calves weighing 450-500 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower on a light test, with 500-750 lbs steers selling mostly steady, over 750 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-700 lbs sold steady to firm, with a pot load of 620 lb heifers trading 3.00 higher than last weeks top. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower with the most decline on the boning cows. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. A much lighter offering this week on steer calves weighing under 550 lbs with overall quality not as attractive as last week's good quality offering. Live and Feeder cattle futures closed higher to start the week. Corn crop ratings came in at 71 percent rated good to excellent compared to 72 percent last week.
