Compared to two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 6.00 lower and yearlings sold steady to 5.00 higher. Supply was heavy and demand was moderate to good. Some dry weather and improved market conditions made for a large run of quality cattle and the majority were weaned with shots with several on the yearling side. There still remains several unanswered questions in the cattle market moving forward but price levels for feeder cattle have improved to a point where producers were comfortable marketing some stock. Slaughter cows sold steady.
