Compared to the last sale four weeks ago, steers and heifers of all weights traded sharply lower. It's really a different world since the last sale in early March as the economy as a whole and the beef sector in particular has absorbed hit after hit. "Volatile" doesn't seem a strong enough word to describe the situation anymore, as daily limit up and down moves at the CME are almost expected; even harder to swallow is that it's driven by funds and not fundamentals. Those big moves take all the confidence out of a cash market and make it difficult for producers to decide when to turn loose as well as for buyers to figure what one is worth. Locally, lots of cattlemen have already held their stock longer than they normally would, waiting for the market to stabilize. Supply was heavy but the bulk of the cattle were absorbed by just a few volume buyers. Demand was moderate but faded later in the day.
