Compared to last week, a much heavier offering of steer calves this week weighing from 450-650 lbs sold 8.00-12.00 higher, with spots 15.00 higher and yearlings over 650 lbs were scarce. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher, with yearlings over 650 lbs lightly tested. A very good offering of good quality weaned steer calves sold on a very active market and reached price levels not seen here for over a month sold with good demand on a moderate offering. Heifer calves sold with moderate to good demand and did not have the aggressive advances as steers. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher, with the most advance on the boning cows. CME Cattle futures started the week in the red with triple digit losses along with grain market also in the red with corn mostly 5 to 9 cents lower. This having little effect on the cattle market as last week's fed cattle market advanced to 140.00 has the feeder cattle market on a positive outlook.
