Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves were steady to 5.00 lower. Feeder steer and heifers were steady to weak. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Supplies were lighter than normal due to the heat advisory across the area. The largest draft of the day was 189 head of 749 lb. heifers which brought 244.50/cwt. Cattle futures traded mixed as corn futures traded sharply lower. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released Friday, reported Inventories were slightly lower, Placements 4 percent higher and Marketings slightly higher.
