As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifers calves sold steady to 10.00 lower with spots 15.00 lower; yearlings sold mostly steady with several loads featured this week. There were several fancy groups of calves offered also. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply but the 600-650 lb steers carrying some flesh saw noticeably lighter demand. Cattle futures have lost quite a bit of ground the last week or so. Slaughter cows sold with a lower undertone.
