Compared to last week's much larger offering, other than 4 pot loads of 845-965 lb steers and 2 pot loads of 613 and 732 lb heifers the steer and heifer calves were lightly tested with the best test and it was a light test on 550-600 lb steers and 500-550 lb heifers both trading mostly 20.00 lower than last week as calves sold mostly in small groups and packages, the 3 pot loads of 845-850 lb steers sold 10.00-13.00 lower than last week's pot load of 877 lb steers, with the pot load of 967 lbs not tested. The pot load of 613 lb heifers sold 20.00 lower than last week's top on the 600-650 lb heifers and the pot load of 732 lb heifers sold 13.00 lower than last week's pot load of similar weight and quality. All other weights on a light test sold with a lower undertone. After last week's CME cattle futures melt down, Monday's feeder cattle market caught up with the last week's sharply lower market as the week went on. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower. There was a consignment of bred cows mostly 4-6 yrs 1150-1440 lbs mostly in the 3rd stage sold from 1535.00-1685.00 per head.
