As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested, 550-700 lbs sold steady, with 700-750 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower, 750-800 lbs sold steady and a light test of 800-820 lbs steers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-450 lbs sold near steady on a light test, with 500-600 lb heifers trading 5.00-10.00 lower, 600-750 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. The 5 weight heifers lost all their sharp gains from last week's very active market as demand was much lighter on the 5 weight heifers, otherwise demand was moderate to good with a moderate to heavy offering of feeder cattle. Bulk of the feeders weighed 550-800 lbs with a god quality offering of steers weighing 550-700 lbs . CME cattle futures started the week in the green finding support as market watchers will watch closely the fed cattle market this week.
