As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers weighing 400-500 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 lower on a light test, with 500-650 lb steers and 450-650 lb heifers selling 5.00-8.00 lower, three pot loads of 870-920 lb steers sold with a firm undertone and 2 pot loads of 735 lb heifers off the same consignment as last week sold 1.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Demand was moderate on calves with the best demand on the pot load lots of yearlings. Selling pressure continues to hold on the feeder cattle futures with triple-digit losses on to start the week on Monday and last weeks lower fed cattle trade.
