As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs and heifer calves under 700 lbs sold mostly 10.00-20.00 lower, with 650-700 lb steers selling 6.00-10.00 lower compared to last week's light test, feeders over 700 lbs were not tested. Demand was light to moderate on a moderate supply. Offering included several consignments and strings of very good quality steers weighing 550-700 lbs and heifers weighing 550-650 lbs. CME cattle futures have dominated the tone of the cattle market with the bears roaring loud with a wash out that is occurring in the in the cattle futures. Feeder Cattle futures for January, March and April all closed 6.42-6.52 lower with Live Cattle closing with sharp losses on the front three months from 1.47 to 2.62 lower. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to 3.00 higher.
