Compared to last week: Steers and heifers traded mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower on all classes. The softer market was in line with the CME Feeder Cattle Board, which closed down the limit on all contract months. Quality was a little plainer than the previous week, but larger bunches of cattle on offer and still attracted stronger buyer interest despite condition. Despite a lower market trading activity was mostly active on moderate buyer demand. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows due to last weeks light test.
