Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 2.00-4.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves were very uneven from 6.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Peewee calves were sharply lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply. One stick-out sale was a draft of 19 hd. of 510 lb. steers which sold for 480.00/cwt. Cooler temperatures, drought conditions, and leveling prices had trailers backed up to the highway. Long-time weaned and vaccinated calves had no trouble matching the highs from the previous week, however most of the calves through the ring were short-weaned and not as attractive to the buyers. With feeder cattle futures down the limit and live cattle futures sharply lower, buyers were not as aggressive as they have been in the past.
