As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing under 600 lbs sold steady to firm, with a light test of 600-650 lb steers selling mostly 3.00-6.00 lower than last week's active market, over 700 lbs were not well tested but sold with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lbs when compared to last week's very active market sold mostly 4.00-8.00 lower with over 600 lbs not well tested with a consignment of 160 head of fancy black heifers weighing 675 lbs selling with very good demand on and active market. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady. September corn closed 15 cents higher with December corn closing 18 3/4 cents higher as corn buying surfaced with last week's Pro-Farmer Tour coming in with lower estimates with a 168.1 bu/per acre average. This had Feeder cattle contracts under pressure with the front three months closing 227 to 232 lower.
