Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend due to last weeks light test. Quality was plain to attractive, with several nice bunches of reputation calves ready to turn out on offer. Slaughter cows traded mostly weak to 2.00 lower on a light test. The cattle futures traded back in the green today after closing sharply lower at the end of last week and yesterday. A slow and steady rain blanketed the majority of the trading region all day today.
