Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady on comparable sales. Steer and heifer calves sold mostly 6.00 to 10.00 lower, with the largest decline on unweaned or short weaned calves without two full rounds of vaccination. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 to 6.00 lower. Quality was mostly plain to attractive. Trading activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. The majority of the supply consisted of load lots of yearlings straight off the grass and a few smaller bunches of calves. As we move into October larger discounts were noted for calves that weren't weaned or lacked a full vaccination program. The past few weeks we've seen a correction in the calf market. According to the Cattle Market Report and Analysis, early August rains in the southern plains promised bountiful winter grazing and caused a surge in calf prices. Currently the combination of high feed cost and returning drought in the southern plains is causing a reset in replacement prices.
