Compared to last week's very active market, steer and heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs were not well tested on a light offering, 500-550 lb steer calves and 550-600 lb heifers on a light test sold with a lower undertone as overall quality was not as good as last week, a near pot load of 560 lb steer calves sold fully steady with last week, 600-700 lb steers and a pot load of 606 lb heifers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 lower, spots 15.00 lower on the steers, two pot loads of 7 weight steers were not well tested with 3 pot loads of 830-850 lb steers selling steady to 4.00 lower. Overall the market held up well as Feeder Cattle futures bounced back after Friday's sell-off with sharp gains on the front 4 months of 6.22 to 8.70. The velocity of last Tuesday's limit down move of 9.25 and Friday's sell-off on Feeder Cattle contracts does get attention. Fed Cattle trade last week was mostly 3.00-5.00 lower at 238.00-240.00. But order buyers on the good cattle continue to wave their cards and gather feeder cattle as there were several good quality pot loads of yearlings in Monday's offering. Several stick out sales included pot load 560 lb steers at 455.00, pot load 600 lbs at 444.00, pot load steers 775 lbs 374.25, 120 hd steers 829 lbs 359.00 and pot load steers 846 lbs at 357.50. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-6.00 lower.
