Compared to last week's very active market, steer calves under 550 lbs and heifer calves under 600 lbs on a much lighter offering sold with a lower undertone on a light test, with 550-750 lb steers selling 10.00-15.00, spots 20.00 lower with the most decline on the 6 weight steers, 800-900 lb steers traded mostly 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifers over 600 lbs were not well tested with last week but sold with a lower undertone. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering as calf offering didn't match up well with last Monday's sale of top quality offering of steer and heifer calves that saw a limit up move on the Feeder Cattle futures that soon was a memory by mid to late week as futures sold off with limit move down last Thursday as market has seen some extreme volatility over the last couple of weeks has buyers more cautious, also lower cash fed cattle market last week. Largest draft of the sale was 120 hd of 889 lb steers that sold at 338.75. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
