As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of 500-600 lb steer calves and 700-750 steers, along with 400-650 lb heifers sold mostly 3.00-8.00 lower on comparable weights and quality, steer calves weighing 600-650 lbs sold near steady, with a pot load of thin 760 lb steers and two pot loads of 7 weight heifers traded with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Demand on calves was moderate to light on a cold wet Monday. Last week's sharp losses on the CME LC and FC contracts showed much caution in the market, along with Friday's COF report showing bearish Placements at 106 percent. Some good news CME Feeder cattle contracts turned green on Monday and closed with modest to solid gains.
