Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, the bulk of Monday's sale was 4 pot loads of yearling steers weighing 820-902 lbs and a part load of 664 lb heifers. The best test was on the pot load of 902 lb steers trading 12.00 lower than a pot load of near same weight from two weeks ago with all other loads trading with a sharply lower undertone as comparisons were very limited on those weights. Very hot and humid weather over the weekend and here on Monday have hampered and made the movement and receiving of cattle very stressful. The market has moved sharply lower over the last two weeks as the month of July has seen the fat cattle trade lose near 30.00 which is pressuring the feeder cattle along with the heat. Slaughter cows were scarce.
