Compared to the last special two weeks ago, on a light test of comparable sales of 500-700 lb steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower, over 700 lbs were lightly tested but sold with a lower undertone. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. The week has seen volatile CME cattle futures along with large drop in equities has created a lot of uncertainty. Overall supply included lots of crossbred cattle in Friday's auction carrying flesh as weighing conditions were not as good as two weeks ago. There was one stick out sale a pot load of top quality black steers weighing 888 lbs at 247.50. Good offering of near 90 head of slaughter steers and heifers sold steady with last week with slaughter cows trading steady to firm.
