As filed

Compared to last week, to note last week's active market did not see the declines that mid-week and late week sales incurred as cattle futures traded sharply lower last week. Monday's sale had a light test overall on calves but trading for the most part on comparable sales in the 30.00-50.00 lower range with a lot of calves unweaned/short weaned (30 days and less) with several pot loads of yearlings not well matched on last week's weights especially the loads of heifers over 700 lbs but all trading in the 25.00-30.00 lower range. Demand was moderate at best with supply moderate. All markets that go up eventually at some point must come down. With expanded limits on CME Cattle Futures after last Friday's limit down move pretty much happened as on Feeder futures had October down 8.80 with other months trading limit down at 13.75 with Live Cattle for December down 6.75 with Feb and April down 9.42 to 9.82. Uncertainty seems to be the driving force in the cattle market as well as the futures as this set a huge negative tone in the cattle market today. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady to spots 3.00 lower on the high dressing cows.
