As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a light test of 400-500 lb steer calves sold mostly 8.00-10.00 lower, with 500-600 lbs trading 4.00-6.00 lower compared to a very active market two weeks ago, steers over 600 lbs sold steady to firm on limited comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold 5.00-8.00 lower with 6 weight heifers trading steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good with the best demand on the good quality offering of 600-850 lb steers with several pot loads and part loads in the offering. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. CME Live and Feeder cattle futures have been under pressure the last two weeks along with grains as Live and Feeder Cattle contracts started out Monday with triple-digit losses with feeder contracts closing mostly 2.00 to 2.27 lower on the front months.
