Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 8.00 lower with the exception of a few larger, higher quality drafts of cattle in an attractive condition selling slightly higher. Demand was good to very good. Supply was moderate and included several nice consignments of yearlings and long weaned calves. Overall, the market has taken a slight downturn with cash fed cattle trading lower last week and the uncertainty in the global markets due to the conflict in the Middle East, however cattlemen remain optimistic about short numbers of cattle moving forward and the markets calmed on Tuesday. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
