Compared to last week, the higher quality calves on a health program and a few yearlings sold steady while those of lesser quality, those carrying flesh or calves without a respiratory vaccination sold with a lower undertone. The discounts for the fleshier calves coming off the cow are typical for this time of year but also, cattle futures have been lower nearly every day since last Thursday, bringing a negative undertone to the market. However, price levels are still historically high and demand remained moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady except for some higher dressing fleshy cows up to 5.00 higher.
