Compared to last week, much lighter offering and test this week, with 400-500 lb steer calves selling steady to 5.00 lower, 500-600 lb steers sold 4.00-8.00 lower with the most decline on the 500-550 lbs, 600-650 lbs sold steady on a light test with 650-800 lbs lightly tested, 4 pot loads of 895-945 lb steers had no recent test. Feeder heifers weighing 450-550 lbs sold fully steady to firm on a very active market, with 550-600 lbs trading mostly 3.00-5.00 lower and 600-650 lbs heifers sold mostly 5.00-8.00 lower on comparable sales with weighing conditions not as attractive as last week. Demand was moderate to good with supply light to moderate. The steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs traded somewhat lower but market remains very good on these grass calves as it was getting a little top heavy. Overall despite some head winds in the commodity markets with the front three months of corn closing 33-38 cents higher and soybeans 43-54 cents higher on Monday feeder cattle weighing 400-600 lbs continue to sell on a very active market. Markets continue to remain volatile as Ukraine struggles with Russia has much uncertainty in the market place. Slaughter cows sold steady.
