As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher and heavier weights traded mostly steady but with a few spots up to 4.00 lower than the highs last week. Demand was moderate to good for a heavy supply but large numbers of calves moving over the last several weeks have put a little strain on the market for the shorter weaned or plainer type cattle. Fed cattle have traded 2.00-4.00 lower so far this week and cattle futures were in the red Wednesday. A large temperature drop is forecast for the rest of the week following unseasonably warm weather which makes it tough on cattle.
