Compared to last week: Steer calves under 500 lbs. 7.00-9.00 lower, 550-600 lbs. 9.00-12.00 lower, 600-700 lbs. mostly 10.00 lower. Calves and feeders not as attractive as last week. Over 700 lb. feeders 5.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. steady to 3.00 lower, feeder 600-650 lbs. steady, over 700 lbs. 9.00 lower. All calves and feeders under pressure from rapid declines in the CME markets the past several days. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate.
