*CLOSE* Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold on a weaker undertone after the early week collapse in cattle futures. However, this morning's limit up movement (+6.750) in nearby August Feeder Cattle seems to have renewed interest in owning stock. The sale highlight this week was a big load of 941 lbs steers selling at 132.75.
