As filed

Compared to last week, much heavier receipts of steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs sold unevenly steady with wider price ranges this week as offering was much larger, 600-800 lbs were scarce, with three pot loads of 887-896 lb steers off the same consignment as last week's traded steady to 1.00 lower on the top side. Feeder heifers had the best test on 450-500 lb selling 5.00-7.00 higher with the best test on 550-600 lbs selling mostly steady on comparable weights and quality over 600 lbs were not tested. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. Market held up well after last Monday's sharply lower prices especially on calves. There was several large consignments of good quality calves long timed weaned in the offering with the bulk of the receipts being calves weighing 400-600 lbs. CME cattle futures closed higher to start the week with Live Cattle contracts December thru April 82-102 higher and Feeder Cattle front three months closing 77-117 higher as contracts pulled back late in the session. Slaughter cows, breaking and premium white cows sold steady to 2.00 lower with boning and lean cows 2.00-6.00 lower.
