As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs traded mostly 15.00-20.00 higher, with spots 25.00 higher on the 5 weight steers, basically gaining back all they lost in last week's free-fall, 650-700 lb steers sold steady to 4.00 higher and yearlings over 700 lbs were not tested but traded with a lower undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-550 lbs also gained back most of what they lost trading 10.00-20.00 higher with 550-600 lbs selling 6.00-10.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold steady along with a part load of 702 lb heifers. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. The best demand was on the good quality 400-650 lb steers selling on and active market. CME Cattle futures once again to start the week saw sharp losses with Feeder Cattle contracts closing with the front three months down 3.65 to 3.90. The feeder cattle market held up reasonably well compared to last week's sharply lower market and futures. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
