Compared to last week, feeder steers under 650 lbs sold mostly steady to spots 3.00 lower, 650-800 lbs sold fully steady to firm and over 800 lbs were not tested. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were lightly tested, with 500-600 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower, a light test of 600-700 lbs sold mostly steady and 700-750 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone with no recent test. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good, with supply moderate. A good quality offering of steers weighing 650-800 lbs sold with the best demand with several part loads in the mix and a good offering of 700-750 lb heifers. CME cattle futures traded lower to start the week and focused on Friday's COF report that showed bearish placements at 111 percent.
