Callaway Livestock Center closed the year with a light to moderate offering of steer and heifer calves weighing 400-650 lbs, with the market holding up very well compared to last week's heavy receipts and very active market. A light test of 400-450 lb steer calves sold with a higher undertone, with the best test on 500-650 lb steers all selling fully steady to firm. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm with 500-600 lb heifer calves trading near steady on comparable sales. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to firm. Monday's markets started the week with a round of selling in the equity and energy markets putting the ag commodities under pressure except for the soybean and wheat futures holding in positive territory. CME cattle futures were pressured by the selling in the equity markets.
