Compared to last week, a lighter run of calves didn't offer too many true comparisons but steer calves sold with a weak to lower undertone and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Three loads of green yearling steers averaging 936 lb's highlighted the sale. Cattle futures continued their tumble lower Thursday. Supply was light to moderate. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
