Compared to last week, a lighter offering this week of 400-500 lb steer calves traded 5.00-10.00 lower, with 500-550 lbs selling steady to firm, 550-700 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, two pot loads of 847 lb and 930 lb steers were not tested with last week. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, with 500-550 lbs trading firm to 5.00 higher and over 550 lbs including two pot loads of 662 lbs and 714 lbs traded with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Overall a very good quality offering of steer and heifer calves weighing 400-650 lbs all selling on a very active market. The 4 weight steers didn't reach last week's highs as the market over the last several weeks has been very active and reaching some impressive prices. Despite the CME Feeder Cattle futures starting the week with triple digit losses the market paid little attention. Slaughter cows on a good offering sold 5.00-10.00 higher.
