Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested due to several days of temps over 100 degrees, conditions not conducive to moving cattle. Market as a whole began lower, however as the sale progressed, many sales moved back to steady with last week. Feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves steady. Despite a sharp decline in cattle futures at market opening, buyers remained actively engaged and were not allowing futures prices to influence their purchasing decisions.
