Based on limited comparisons with last week, several packages of steers and heifers under 650 lbs sold 3.00-6.00 lower. There were 7 load lots of good quality program cattle weighing 600-750 lbs that sold with good demand but no recent price comparisons. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Buyers were less aggressive overall this week with dangerously high humidity and heat index values although the load lots sold at what appeared to be near steady prices. Several nice cattle that opted out of the heat are expected next week.
