Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700 lbs sold 3.00-8.00 lower with the exception of a few heifer calves under 500 lbs selling steady; heavier weights weak to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate for calves and moderate to good for yearlings. Cattle futures unexpectedly traded sharply lower on Monday and buyers adjusted their bids accordingly. A nice run of yearlings was offered that included several load lots along with many calves that came to town mostly right off the cow or short weaned. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady, bulls mostly 3.00 lower.
