Compared to last week, all weights of steer calves and heifer calves under 550 lbs traded 6.00-12.00 lower. Heifer calves over 550 lbs traded steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was light on a moderate supply. The feeder calf supply was light and lacked the quality of last week's offering. Much of last week's gain was lost, as limit down cattle futures on Monday didn't improve on Tuesday. Steers averaged 573 lbs at $146.38/cwt while heifers averaged 525 lbs at $131.51/cwt. Concern with the Coronavirus is affecting global markets and has infected rural Missouri with much lower cash prices, in spite of a neutral Cattle on Feed Report. The USDA reported that Inventories were 2 percent higher, Placements 1 percent lower and Marketings 1 percent higher than a year ago.
