As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 8.00 lower, no recent comparison on yearlings, undertone firm. Slaughter cows steady with some breaking cows as much as 3.00 higher. Quality this week was pretty attractive but also came with plenty of flesh. Buyers were selective about health history and condition, normal for this time of year, but even the weaned cattle had trouble finding any firm footing. Yearling cattle surpassed many expectations and sold virtually steady with the last test from four weeks ago. Cattle futures took a little breather by the end of the day Tuesday after the previous brutal trading session. Supply moderate, demand light to moderate.
