As filed

Compared to last week, a light test overall with steer calves under 600 lbs sold within last week's price ranges and for the most part sold near the top end, with a light test over 600 lbs not well tested on comparable sales and selling with a lower undertone, included a pot load of steers weighing 765 lbs at 286.50. Heifer calves under 600 lbs all sold with a lower undertone with mostly new crop calves with few sales over 600 lbs were not tested. Demand was good for a light offering with most producers taking a wait and see attitude and letting the dust settle as overall markets have been in a tailspin. Last Friday's mass liquidation in the CME Cattle futures and Monday's sell-off along with the sell-off in the equity markets as well as the tariff uncertainties have producers and buyers taking a cautious approach. Slaughter cows sold steady.
