As filed

Compared to last week, 400-500 lb steer calves sold with a higher undertone on few comparable sales with 500-600 lb steers trading 5.00-10.00 higher, 600-750 lbs sold mostly steady with steers over 800 lbs selling with a lower undertone compared to last weeks pot loads. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher spots 12.00 higher on the 5 weights with 600-750 lbs trading with a firm to higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Best demand was on steers and heifers weighing 400-600 lbs that will be going to grass with a good supply of top quality calves. CME cattle contracts closed lower with mostly triple-digit losses on Monday as cattle futures are a having a hard time finding support but overall demand remains moderate to good on feeders.
