Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 3.00-5.00 lower in a
lightly tested market. Steer calves under 700 lbs. were 5.00-10.00 lower and
heifer calves were steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate
supply. The largest draft of the day was 86 head of heifers weighing 604 lbs.
which sold for 405.00/cwt., which was an exception to today's trend as a
comparable load last week sold for 397.00/cwt. Markets opened brisk this
morning with prices steady to firm before softening in the afternoon as the CME
Feeder Cattle Futures turned sharply lower. Flesh condition dictated the
prices as those on the thinner side were mostly steady with those carrying
extra flesh receiving the larger discounts.
