Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, but a steady undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 3.00 to 8.00 lower. The majority of the supply consisted of short weaned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate demand. Large discounts were noted on unweaned or short weaned calves without a full vaccination program again, as cooler temperatures are forecasted to return to the region tomorrow.
