Compared to last week: Prices seemed to follow the board downward after a banner sale last week. There were few comparable sales on most classes to determine a trend but a lower undertone was noted. Feeder steers in the 700 pound range took the biggest hit, sliding 10.00-25.00 lower. Unweaned and and fleshy cattle remain in lesser demand. On a positive note, 300 and 400 pound steers and heifers took a positive turn, as interest turned their way. With cooler temperatures, forecast for rain, and some wheat coming up; we may see more interest in the smaller calves. Average to high yielding slaughter cows were steady to 6.00 higher. Overall quality was plainer and trade was moderate as volatility remains in the market.
