Compared to last Monday: Market opened near steady but steadily fell following the downturn in the CME cattle futures by mid-morning. Feeders closed 5.00 to 10.00 lower with most decline on calves over 550 lbs. Buyers showed preference for hard weaned calves with fleshy calves and single head lots facing discounts. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher with good demand. Slaughter bulls sold steady with good demand.
