Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower in a limited test. New crop calves with one round of pre-weaning shots dominated the calf receipts. Feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower except a few load lots sold weak to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower with most of the decline on fleshy kinds. Slaughter bulls not well tested. Trade and demand moderate.
