Compared to last week, feeders steers and heifers were uneven from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifers calves under 700 lbs. were 8.00-16.00 lower with spots 20.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. The quality was below average with a lot of green, short-weaned calves in the offering. The largest draft of the day was 144 head of 647 lb. heifers which brought 315.00/cwt. With hotter temperatures and high humidity in the forecast, calves were having difficulty finding a new home. Cattle Futures traded sharply lower as Boxed Beef set what most consider record highs, if you take out the short abnormally during the height of covid, with Choice closing at 386.50 and Select at 372.54.
