Compared to two weeks ago, as last weeks sale was a light post holiday run, steers under 750 lbs traded 3.00-6.00 lower with heavier steers lightly tested but selling mostly steady. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Overall, the quality was very good and included 5 loads of 875-925 lb steers but most of the calves were in moderate to moderate plus flesh and quite a few consignments came in straight off the cow. Demand was moderate to good except for being light to moderate for yearling heifers. Supply was moderate. Cattle futures posted solid gains Tuesday but not enough to gain back the sharp losses seen last week. Some farmers were able to get into the field over the weekend before the next round of storms move in. Slaughter cows sold firm to 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded steady.
