Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold mostly 7.00-10.00 lower, spots 12.00 lower with 650-750 lb steers selling steady to 4.00 lower, 800-850 lb steers were not tested with last week but sold with a sharply lower undertone, two pot loads of 884-892 lb steers traded 6.00-7.00 lower on comparable weights with last week. Feeder heifers weighing 600-650 lbs sold mostly steady, with a light test of heifers over 700 lbs selling with a lower undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to light, with unweaned calves finding few takers, best demand was on the 650-750 lb yearling steers. CME feeder and live cattle contracts felt the pressure of the complex's new expanded limit moves in the cattle futures with feeders falling 3.50-to near 5.00 lower and live cattle mostly 3.00-3.50 lower as cattle futures continue to liquidate. Corn prices keep rallying finding support from export sales also is pressuring the cattle market as buyers are more cautious to start the week.
