Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 4.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves were 3.00-6.00 lower with spots 10.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply. The quality of the offering was below average and consisted of mostly mixed calves that were unweaned or short-weaned. Feeder Cattle Futures were sharply lower and with Live Cattle Futures lower as well, made it difficult for cash prices to advance.
